    Anyone have CAPTAIN AMERICA COMICS #46 to show?

    in Golden Age Comic Books

    Posted

    Hi gang,

    I collect comic-related photos, and I'd love it if someone who has Captain America Comics #46 (Holocaust cover by Schomburg) could message me a photo of themselves holding the comic book. I'd like to print it out and add it to my photo collection! I have thousands of comic-related photos, and a pic featuring Cap 46 is at the top of my want list!

    Thanks... Here are a few examples from my collection.

    Back in 1965 I stopped collecting comics at the age of 15. When I got back into comics in the early to mid seventies and starting to attend SDCC, this picture was taken as I resumed collecting with an interest in science fiction but particularly Infantino's work on Flash and Adam Strange.

    Now I'm pushing 70 in a few days and wondering where the time went, but  it has been a fantastic ride. These old photos are a trip down memory lane. Thanks for posting them.

    Great pic! Thanks for sharing! I love the combo of rock n' roll and comic books!
