Welcome to DCM - how old are you poll?

[John C]

hey guys, i'm newbie in this forun and i want know how can i download Avengers comics. thx

You can't, at least not legally, and not anywhere we'll talk about here.  They're illegal to distribute, and since parent company Disney has really big lawyers, you're probably better off just buying'em when you can afford them.

We deal exclusively with comics in the public domain (meaning no copyright entanglements to feed the aforementioned lawyers), focusing on those prior to 1960.

Yep, you're in the wrong place for 'current' books Dylan.
But give us a look - you'd be surprised how many cool things you can find on DCM.
Like  Wolverine?  Take a look at Hangman Comics in the MLJ section.
There's a GA equivalent to almost any modern hero you can name.  And you might find the modern one is strikingly similar to the GA one.  Try Lev Gleason's DareDevil and see if you think Marvel was 100% original in their version.

Chem and others, Please read the FAQ in my signature.  It covers about any question you could have.

"Greetings & Salutations!" I'll wager a stack of Golden Age comics (not really!) that there are more comic book readers in their late 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, maybe centurians out there? Bet if we could teach people 65 and older to use a computer and show them this website, our numbers would double or triple! Respectfully yours, Sarge Booker of Tujunga, California

Hey Sarge welcome aboard. I am an Army vet 74-78

Thank you, served 1959-1962 myself and my older brother a male nurse went to Nam in 1970 and stayed three tours, advancing from 2LT to CPT in less than 3 years, stayed CPT until 18 years later when he made MAJ and then LTC after being in Desert Storm. My grandson's father is Chinese the grandfather was one of the "Boat People" after 1975 coming out of Vietnam. Jimmy Luong was able to read at age 2 and stayed glued to a computer. Jimmy's father Jason Luong was born in Las Vegas about 1983? I do not care a lot for the new comic books that are too slick, not like those I grew up with in the 1940s to the late 1950s.  "Bringing Up Father" (Maggie & Jiggs) was my favourite and George McManus was brilliant! Liked George Baker's "Sad Sack: and "Alley Oop" too!  "Little Orphan Annie" and "Krazy Kat" could not be done by those who followed those great artists. "Dick Tracey" continue after Chester Goulde bought the farm!  Katzenjammer Kids were good, wondered how many artists did those strips? Thank you for replying, brother!

Love early Dick Tracy and Alley Oop. I read K Kids in their later years and did not like the strip at all. Never gave me the desire to look up the early ones. I also love early Phantom and even later ones.

Introducing myself in this thread.. Hello World!

How old... does it matter for reading comics? I hope to be always young for this activity (my grandfather still reading comics, although he has problems to understand some text )

Hi. I'm Dave and I'm 40 years old. I guess I fall into the 75% that isn't over 65. A link to this site was posted on the 11 O'Clock Comics forum, so I thought I'd check it out.
