hi, I love old comics but I also collect paperdolls mostly which I heard could be found here too. can anyone give me any quick links to any such pd pics here? for example archie comics and katy keene always had paperdolls in them. I'm hoping to find a lot more as well. thank you for doing this site for all reasons.

Welcome Kay.
Hmmm, I can't recall any paper dolls.  Anyone know of them?

Maybe talking about the Fawcett flying cut outs?

[larrytalbot]

Most  Katy Keene comics had a page with costume cut-outs with which to clothe a Katy Keene doll cut-out.  Also, some pages featured costume designs send in by readers.

Those two are the only ones I can think of as well.

It's not PD and therefore not on this site, but almost all issues of Sugar & Spike had the "Pint-Size Pin Ups" paper doll page.  Which, of course, just helps to make those already scarce books even harder to find intact....

Can't believe it!
This really works. Fantastic. Wonderful. Sensational.
Found you browsing around the internet for pre-code horror comics.
As a diehard EC fan I stumbled (some months ago) across the marvelous TALES TOO TERRIBLE TO TELL by Mr. George Suarez.
(Is he still around somewhere?, can't find the man...)
Since then my appetite for pre-code horror is growing in a quite dangerous fashion.
 
He hooked me up with artists like Rudy Palais, Don Heck, Bob Powell, Matt Baker, Lou Fine etc.etc.
Now I can go looking for them in your archives. Thanks a lot.
All the best from the city of Cologne!

Welcome aboard till. Yes you will find lots and lots of pre-code horror here. Please enjoy your stay.

Hi....
Like many today (I suspect), I found this through Boing Boing.  I'm looking forward to exploring some classic comics and maybe finding a bit of inspiration.  I suspect I (honestly) won't be posting a lot, so let me say thanks up front to all those who have uploaded the comics I'll be downloading and reading. 

[OtherEric]

I just now saw that we got Boing Boinged; thank you for taking the time to say hello and thanks.

Everybody else who may be arriving from there:  enjoy, and feel free to talk in here even if you don't have any books to share!

One point :  We only host Public Domain books here, so don't expect a lot of famous characters to turn up.  A few fairly big names are around, though.

Me, too  Here because of Boing Boing, I mean. With this and Project Gutenberg I'm all set. 

[Geo (RIP)]

Enjoy your stay tuskin, lots of good stuff to see and read.

Does anybody have a link TO the BoingBoing article that has brought us over two hundred (wow!) users today?

And welcome again to those passing through.  Just so you know, we don't expect you to actually tell us about yourselves, and you're perfectly welcome to just jump into any conversation or start your own if the topic fits in.  Don't be afraid that you're not "important" enough to contribute--like in all forums, the folks who look important now (with a handful of notable exceptions) got there from anonymity by getting involved.
