Welcome Destry.
No need for bottles here - you've got access to as much as you could ever want there.
We even have a bit of a foreign section with some books you might recognize.

Hello. I'm from Canada. I've read a lot of these pulp magazine when I was a kid, a long time ago. I'm 59. Going through this Museum brings back a lot of memories. Anyway, I have been and I will be downloading lots. I've made a donation, 5 $ for now, repeated on a monthly basis. I will increase the amount eventually, when I finally get some other payments out of the way.

@Yoc
I've made the donation just two days ago, the 17, through PayPal. On my account it says the payment will be received around the 27.

Hi, I've just joined you. Found you on a link when I installed Comic Rack yesterday.
I've always praised comics - had trouble learning to read as a 5 year old with eye problems and have always said it was comics that did the trick. I WANTED to read them - unlike the boring readers of the 1950's. I'm now a retired school principal so you can see comics were very kind to me!
Very glad to see you people keeping the traditions going - it seems to me that children nowadays are missing out on the fun of comics. I look forward to exploring this site.
Cheers, Graham (from Sth Australia).

Welcome aboard Graham, we have a lot to offer you on the reading side.
I don't know if you used the same readers we did but I'm sure glad they
don't use them now, as I too worked in the education field before I retired
a few years back now. We did use comics to help to get students to read.

Please enjoy your stay with us here.

Hello from the woods of New Hampshire! I am a 61 year old male who has always loved comic books. As a teenager I used to read mostly DC comics because that's what they sold at the local general store. My favorites were Superman, The Flash, Aquaman, Metal Men, and The Green Arrow to name a few. I am a huge science fiction and horror fan and love the EC Comics. After I mustered out of the service I needed to catchup on my comic reading and started a rather large collection of sci-fi and sword and sorcery including many Marvel comics such as Conan and John Carter On Mars which I still have. This comic museum is a great opportunity for me to delve into some golden age comics. Discovering this site is like finding a treasure trove.

I read about this site elsewhere and registered.  I hope I can hold up my end of the deal.

I was born in "The Silver Age' but there were still enough people around to remember "The Golden Age" and write enough about it to peak my interest.  if there had been an internet back then and sites like this, I could foresee having gone in another direction and developed a penciling or inking career.  Alas, it was not so, so I am living this timeline.

Recently I was researching to begin a blog that I have put off for years about newspaper comic strips and was reminded of the connections between comic strips and the early comic books, which in many cases reprinted the strips.  That is what led me here.

I'm active under different usernames on the internet, so that may be the same with others here.  Real Life has gotten busy in recent months, so I may be here sporadically.  In the meantime, I'm glad to have joined up.

I'll have to find an approriate obscure Golden Age hero/ine to use as my avatar.  My favorite DC and Timely characters from that era are Doctor Fate and The Vision, but that may be too "mainstream" for your tastes here.  I have been fascinated with Golden Age Canadian comic book publishing, not because I'm Canadian, but because when I was semi-active in fandom in the 1980's, I had the privilege to corresponded with "The Map Maple" or "T.M. Maple."

Hey Pulse from someone just a couple years younger. Your avatar need not be obscure. I am mister obscure but everyone's taste varies.
