Merry Marvel Marching Society
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Merry Marvel Marching Society (often referred to by the abbreviation "M.M.M.S.") was a fan club of sorts for Marvel Comics started by Marvel editor Stan Lee in 1964. For the contribution of one dollar to start and a yearly contribution of 75 cents each year afterward, members received a button, a newsletter and a recording featuring the Marvel staff including Lee, Jack Kirby and others. The M.M.M.S. folded in the mid-1970's. A second attempt to create an official Marvel Comics Fan Club, called The Friends of 'Ol Marvel (FOOM), was tried from 1973-1976.
[edit] In popular culture
The character of Hiro Nakamura on Heroes is reported to be an M.M.M.S. member in the episode "Don't Look Back."
