| It was 1945 and SUPERMAN and LOIS had a Refrigerator...while we still had to depend on the Iceman lugging a 40 pound piece of ice up three floors every three to four days for our modern Ice Box... comics were pure fantasy then.  OO (N copy) mm |

| ALL-STAR number 41 is one of my all time favorites featuring the "NEW" INJUSTICE SOCIETY and the HARLEQUIN reveling she's not a "real" criminal...just trying to attract the GREEN LANTERN... really a good story line.  OO mm |

Been awhile since I walked down the Avenue, Marty. Always loved that Batman 44! Splash page is as advertised as well. And the good news (for me) is I still have many pages left to enjoy! Also congrats on your anniversary!!!  |

Quote:Originally Posted by martymannAlways love the variety of your collection, Marty. Is that because your tastes were towards anything and everything or is it because you took what you could find? I know finding runs of comics back then was a challenge; heck, even when I was growing up in the 70s, I couldn't find newsstand comics with a guaranteed regularity. There were no comic shops in my neck of the woods either. By the early 80s I opened a wholesale account with Alternate Realities out of Maryland. I had to buy a minimum of 30(?) books each month but i got a big discount and all the books were delivered almost untouched by other grubby hands.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by Badger Jeff...Thank you for your kind words. The variety of my collection came about as I was always on the lookout for first issues...not because I ever thought they would be valuable but I just enjoyed finding new characters. I was also limited in acquiring runs of favorite titles by the selection and numbers of copies at the newsstand or in the newsrooms. And, finally the lack of funds kept me from buying many of my favorite titles. Marty |
