  1. The hardest thing I remember about buying comics in the '40's was making the decision to spend my dime on this month's BATMAN or SUPERMAN or to pick-up a STUNTMAN #1 or SUPERBOY #1 or MARVEL FAMILY #1 (I was already getting CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES through the mail)...it was a tough world! mm
  2. Collected from '42 to '54 when I went into the Navy. Started again in the early '70's with my sons...& now with my Grandson. Still have most of what I bought in the '40's & '50's...my sons have everything from the '70's. Most of my books came from Newark, NJ & Scranton,PA. mm
  3. 77...got my first comic in '42..."ALL WINNERS #4"...still have it! mm
  4. Going through some stuff and found some catalogs from 1980-81 from the PASSAIC BOOK CENTER on Main Avenue, Passaic, NJ. There was a period when I bought a lot of books from there...even went there once. Wondered how many others had the same pleasure of buying from them. mm
  5. I'll add #150...the Bat-Signal is great, but the silhouettes of BATMAN & ROBIN are lame. mm
  6. Still wondering if anyone is interested in STAR HAWKS newspaper strip? mm
  7. Just got my DETECTIVE #108...graded at 4.0...next I'll submit DETECTIVE #164... going for a "Bat-Signal" theme. mm
  8. Around 500 that I collected between 1942 and 1952. I have two in the process of being graded...Detective #108 (02/46) and All-American #100 (08/46) Let's see how this works out before I go for my big ones. mm
  9. I don't know if this is the right place to ask...but is anyone interested in the STAR HAWKS newspaper strip by Gil Kane & Ron Goulart? The strip began on October 3rd, 1977. I have what I believe to be a complete run from 10/3/77 to 5/27/78. Any interest out there for newspaper strips. mm
  10. I don't know about the Silver Age copies...but the GOLDEN AGE ones were 15 cents and in those days I could get better titles for my dime. I did pick-up a few that I still have...#18... #19...#21...#34...#36...#40...#41...& #42. mm
