Welcome guys and many thanks to Everyone that has placed a vote in this very long running poll.
It's fun to see how the membership age groups break down.

55, and I'm here as a high school English teacher looking for some creative ways to use these old comics to teach Dante's Inferno or maybe Persepolis as I move to an online format.

Welcome aboard, O11W.

If you go here:  https://digitalcomicmuseum.com/index.php?cid=699 you will find ready made adaptations. The content ranges from Shakespeare to Captain Blood, to Rider Haggard's She.

Superior Comics did four issues of similar adaptations. The highlight, to me, was Wells' The Invisible Man.
https://digitalcomicmuseum.com/index.php?cid=1072


This link will take you to All-Negro Comics from 1947. Not intended as a one-shot. But, after the first issue came out, the company could not buy any more paper. The listing has a link to a blog about the issue.  https://digitalcomicmuseum.com/index.php?dlid=22625

Hope these help…

Erwin K.

I am soon to turn 62.  I grew up reading Silver Age comics, mostly DC and Marvel.  I remember being upset when Marvel started serializing their stories- the comic books were expensive for a youngster.
I now realize that this change opened the door to far more complex characters and stories, so I think it was a good thing now. 
I am mostly interested now in pre-code comics.

At a young 67, I've decided to start reading comics that are older than myself and found the DCM here. A rabbit-hole site if ever there was one. I'm also buying newer comics, middle aged comics, some old comics (including 2 Canadian Golden Age), foreign comics, books, graphic novels, omnibuses, Marvel, DC and multiple Others. Having a great time, enjoying stories and art in my old age. I'll be back. Cheers, Tim!

Proud of surviving to collect my SS. Started comics with my gramps reading me comic books and the funnies and later got my own cartoon character comics. I graduated to DC (Superman etc) but when I found Marvel (remember the MMMS), I never looked back until girls and Playboy started taking up free time.

Thanks so much for your efforts with this site.

Hello Everyone,
I'm 63 and been collecting comics since I was 7 or 8. When I was a kid my parents were stationed overseas and we lived on base. The on base houses used to trade comics with each other since the tv was in another language and it was a big source of entertainment for everyone. I never gave up the habit and have a big collection of comics and graphic novels. One day, I have to start selling them just to make room for the newer ones, lol.

Welcome guys!

And Joe, if you still have a collection there please check our searchable Wanted List for us.  You just might have something that is needed to fill a hole or upgrade a scan already on DCM.

Enjoy the scans!

Hi. I'm new here but have a long history with comic. I'm 65yo and I started reading in abt 1959 and was a dedicated DC fan until sometime after CoIE. The change in the mythology, along with restrictive prices ultimately pushed me away. Glad to be able to indulge myself in the era I missed just barely, being born in 1956 I came 8n at the dawn of the Silver Age.

I’m a 68 yo female nerd, started reading science fiction when i was 7.  Lester Del Ray and Andre Norton were my favorites.  I never read comic books back then—no money and a wonderful library only a mile away. easy walking distance in those days.  The library was a huge Victorian granite building complete with stained glass windows, marble and decorative tiled floor, huge murals on the walls in the kids section, decorative wrought iron everywhere.  The staircase between the floors was located in the tower section of the building.  What kid wouldn’t love to roam such a treasure!  I’m a huge fan still of Weird Tales and the like, and stretching out to embrace comics isn’t a stretch at all.   I am very happy to find you!
