Crimson-Blue-Green:

--- Quote from: OtherEric on October 14, 2016, 03:35:16 PM ---I'm pretty sure this is just speculation, not verified fact, but the best guess I've heard for Fox moving their splash to the IFC was to keep people from selling stripped books.  Ironically, Fox then sold tons of them rebound in their giants.

Thanks for the response OtherEric!  I guess this backfired on Fox, eh? 


Yoc, I am back!  Thank you for uploading the "Sheena In B&W" zip.  It's okay about the original art not being allowed.  I was taking a chance and I still haven't learned all of the rules here.  I won't upload something like this again. 


I had a new computer in late August, but it didn't work for me.  During that time I created my blog.  I need to check my emails to allow comments.  If anyone has posted a comment I haven't seen it.  I honestly hate email.  I returned the computer within 14 days and now I'm stuck using the library's for things like uploading and downloading.  The good news is i just changed my CB+ user name and uploaded the "Sheena In B&W" zip there as well.  So now I have the same name on both sites.  So...I need to think about a new computer, a new phone (I keep breaking them due to my short temper) and what to do, if anything, about getting the internet in my home.  I really want to continue using this website and be an active member.  I even contributed (months ago, with my old phone) a whopping $5.  It doesn't show up on my profile, though.  Thanks for all of your help and advice.  I'm determined to learn more about Golden Age comics! 


5. What comic had the very first letters page? 


   

Yoc:
Good luck with all your tech quests there CBG.

Sorry, I couldn't tell you who did the first letters page.

Like OtherEric, my impression was that starting the stories on the inside cover was probably an attempt to prevent the re-selling of unsold copies that had had the masthead stripped off by distributors to claim credit from the publisher. I can recall plastic-bagged 'value packs' of Charlton comics in the 50s and 60s that were missing the top third of their covers. I assume that was done by shady distributors, but Charlton was pretty shady itself, so who knows who was really behind it and squeezing out the final nickels and dimes from the books.

I had heard Superman #124 had the first LOC, but surely there was one before that.  My oldest comics are all Archie or Little Lulu type stuff and they never had LOC's.  Good question.

erwin-k:
Can't say if they are the first, but Novelty's Blue Bolt & Target Comics ran letter pages pretty early on. They sent you a dollar if they used yours.
