Hello Everybody,

Oh does this comic bring back memories. I bought the issue from a well known dealer in early 1969. (Wish I could now remember which dealer.) The guy was honest in his mailer. The cover was starting to fall apart. The page edges were stained. I wondered if the interior pages would start to fall apart, like the cover. I took a chance and sent to six dollars he asked for.

I was a college senior then at what is now the University of Central Missouri, Warrensburg. One of the classes I was taking, actual name not remembered, but it involved preparing materials for use in giving classes, speeches, and such. As soon as I could get the loose and crumbling cover to college I laminated it, with all the chunks and crumbs I could find in the shipping envelope. I even got some extra credit for doing it.

Fast forward almost fifty years, I offered to scan the first ever Captain Marvel, Jr. solo story for an origin collection getting put together at the Digital Comic Museum. Shortly thereafter I scanned the rest of the issue. Now Yoc has improved the scans. Thank you, Yoc.

Today my original Master Comics #23 spends most of its time resting in a short comic box on shelves I built in the basement. I can read the great issue at DCM anytime we've got power, just like you!

Best,

Erwin K. Roberts

Hi Erwin.  Thanks for sharing the background story of this comic with us.  It's collectors such as yourself that have helped make DCM's collection the wonderful resource that it has become!  I hope your words inspire other collectors to think about their own books and perhaps consider scanning or letting a trusted scanner here scan their books for them.  We've still got many holes to fill and small or incomplete scans to upgrade.
