Welcome to DCM - how old are you poll?

[whizfan]

Can't be certain, but probably a Fawcett Captain Marvel title. My schoolfriend clicked onto comics years before I acquired the taste and collected anything and everything connected to the Big Red Cheese. Once seen I, too, entered Fawcett Comics fandom, collecting any super/costumed character titles they published.
Thanks, then, to DCM for archiving the wealth of comic titles published down the years. I view and download daily.
Do you?

[whizfan]

Hi,
Sorry I haven't replied before now: took me ages to work out how to use the forum.
A fellow Fawcett collector is a joy to behold: we both had/have taste. I still have a couple of Fawcett titles I'd love to share with fellow DCM members, but can't for the like of me work out the procedure for doing so??
You're older (I prefer "younger") than me by how many years?

Hi Whiz fan,
There are trusted members on the site that would be wiling to scan your books for the collection and return them to you.
Let us know if you'd like to pursue the idea.

Hello,

The first comic I read and owned, was a DC comic called Strange Adventures.
This was published in 1950 when I was 4 years old.

Willie (66) and still loving comics.

Cool, and I bet you'll find lots to read here Will.
Welcome to the site.

I was born in Sept of 1970 and the first comics I remember owning were some issues of House of Mystery, Archie and Richie Rich back around '75 or so that my cousin gave me.  Bought my first issue of Superman in 1979 and still have it and have read Superman ever since.   
Since finding this site I am becoming quite the Fawcett Captain Marvel fanatic and also a fan of Daredevil and Fighting Yank

I'm three years older than you SMS.  I too was weened on Archie as well as Scrooge comics.  My first buys were Archie Superhero Digest #2 and Ghost Rider v1 #26 both in the summer of 1979.  Before that I only had hand-me-downs or books my parents approved.

Give 'Prize Comics' and 'Frankenstein Comics' a try.

btw, I too still own those first two purchases I mentioned.

Well..., I thought I was still young until recently. Our son leaves home for college in a few days. S I feel older.  Then in Oct. I'll turn the big "Five O." I'm sure my wife will rub it in. (she's a few years younger.) She made me a cake on my 25th  that said. "Happy quarter century." I'm sure I'll get a "Happy half century" cake this year." Ugghh. Oh well.
I have loved comics for as long as I can remember. Thanks for sharing...

I'm 69 years old and and have been reading comics since I was about 6 or 7. My mother used to read them to me before that. Down at the street level in my apartment building was a mom and pop store. They sold new comics for 5 or 10 cents but the best thing was that they would buy used comics for a penny each from you and would sell them to anyone who wished to wade through the pile for 2 cents each. I spent many happy hours wading and reading. I mostly read Disney comics but also enjoyed others like Archie and Plastic Man, Superman and most of the animal characters comics. I still enjoy reading all these today.
