    Yes indeed! Empire was awesome for new comics and a place to hang. They used to advertise comic bags for sale in the comics back in the 1970's.

    Does anyone have pictures of Empire Comics in Irondequoit NY? Especially inside. It was at 621 Titus Ave just down the street from the House of Guitars. I used to go there every Saturday back in the 1970's when I was a kid. I have not found much on the place on the internet. A newspaper article and an advertisement were the most significant things I located. This place was soooo cool. I got ASM #129 there, and bought the Rogers/Englehart run of Detective Comics there back when they were first published. I distinctly remember seeing the Star wars #1 comic book there before the movie came out, and buying the Marvel #1s of Tarzan and John Carter. I would greatly appreciate any pictures anyone might have. Thanks!

    Thanks for the suggestions. Possible this could have been an issue of Vampirella, Eerie, Creepy, or something from Warren? Was Eerie Publications something different? [Horror Tales, Tales from the Tomb, Tales of Voodoo, etc.] I have seen some of the covers of those and they look extreme. Definitely in the ballpark. The image of that bloody stump still sticks w/ me after about 45 years ! !

    Hi - I was requesting help to ID an old comic magazine I was given in the mid 1970's as I recall. I remember being shocked at how gory it was. There was a story where a guy gets his hand chopped off and he then sticks his arm into a fire to cauterize it. There may have also been some nudity or sexy stuff in there that I did not expect. It is also possible the nudity I am recalling was in a different comic magazine I was given at the same time, not the one w/ the hand chopped off story. This comic magazine shocked me as a 10 year old. It is long gone, and I have no idea what it was. Does any of this sound familiar? Can anyone ID what the title and issue this was? I would appreciate any help - please speak up if this rings any bells for you.

    I'm not sure if its been pointed out here before, but I just noticed that the cover to Jimmy Olsen #53, is based on the cover to Thrilling Wonder Stories (July 1940). Here are the links to compare the images: https://www.comics.org/issue/16305/cover/4/ https://archive.org/details/Thrilling_Wonder_Stories_v17n01_1940-07
