Gee, this is like coming home. Thanks for inviting me. I see a lot of old friends but for those here I haven't corresponded with, a brief introduction. I was born in 1928. I enjoyed comic books and pulp magazines as I was growing up, but thought they were dying out by 1948. (It definitely looked that way by the early 1950s.) I was drawn back to comic books in 1977 when I happened upon Stan Lee's "The Superhero Women" and started buying comics again. Then all the publishers I really liked (like Pacific Comics, Comico, First Comics, and Eclipse) failed in the late 1980s and the horrible, horrible art at Marvel in the 1990s convinced me comics again were about to fail. I was wrong again, but fortunately I started finding like-minded fans on the Internet and was able to read again (or sometimes read for the first time) the great comic books of the aptly-named Golden Age.
Best of luck with the DCM!
