Well, I guess I am one of the older comic book readers. I will be turning 75 in a couple of months. I remember back in the 40's, friends of mine and I would go down to the corner drugstore and sit on the floor and read the latest comics until the owner told us to either buy or leave. Captain Marvel and Superman topped the list. I also liked the Classic comics which gave me an appreciation for the classical works of the past. I later got hooked on Mad magazine with it's political satire and current events. I am looking forward to viewing some your collection.

Welcome Bobby, give Nuts! a try.  Not 'Mad' but one of several competing mags in the same vein.

Hi all.  

I'm a bit dilatory in introducing myself, having apparently joined DCM some time back but first really playing around with it last week.  For the last couple of years I've been experiencing my second childhood as I've rediscovered all the reading pleasures of my youth -- although my wife insists I never left my first childhood since I never entirely gave up reading comic books.   I've been having a ball reading through and downloading some of the great Fawcett Comics, mainly remembering them from DC's reprints in the 1970s, and discovering the greatness of titles beyond the Marvel Family.  Unfortunately, I have no Golden Age comics to scan and contribute to the site, but I heartily thank those who have shared their treasures with the wider world.  I maintain a couple of blogs about my various readings, mainly "Random Ramblings of an Absent-Minded Professor," but also "Spinner-Rack Memories" and "The Perry Rhodan Reading Project," if anybody's interested.

Cheers,

Kent Hare

EDIT:  Oops ... somehow I overlooked the age part ... 50 years - kgh

Welcome Kent.
I had a pretty good Perry Rhodan collection but realized I would never get caught up so I traded them in. Good series though.

Sixty one.Life long avid reader. Got the bug as a kid reding comics. Looking forward to renewing the pleasure I got whenever I aquired a new comic. I'm a big fan of old time radio and this website looks like a treasure to me.Hope to chat with many of you as I have a lot to learn about vintage comics.

I am from Bangladesh and the resource here represents my childhood when comics were cheap and available even in a place like Bangladesh-- well back in the 70's it should have been harder to find comics. Good to find a site that takes me back to my childhood.
