Add me to your over-65 list.
The first comic I remember having was a Mickey Mouse meets the Phantom Blot issue. I know there was a series of Blot followup stories. But, I think I'm remembering the very first one from around 1939 when I was 4. The time is set by the year (1939) we moved from our old apartment where I remember reading (and re-reading) it. I never stopped
loving comics after that. The stories, cartoons and colors were all just great. And for a great price (10 cents!)
Through the years I accumulated a huge collection of Golden Age comics. But by early 1950s I decided to (horror-of-horrors) get rid of them and gave all of them away to young relatives and other kids. The comics had created a housekeeping nuisance for my mother with only limited space in our tiny apartment. Also, Girls and other teen distractions temporarily steered me away from comics.
But, by the early 1960s I remembered my old friends the comics and wanted to see them again. I re-accumulated some old Fawcett Captain Marvel, and other comics, most of which I have uploaded to DCM.
