Given all the different comics eras represented in these marvelous photos, this thread really should be in the General section for all to see...

That’s a good point! Is there a way to move it? Or maybe I should start a new thread in that category...

These are for member David, who posted incredible pix of himself and his pals circa 1967 with Marvel-Atlas back issues. It got me thinking about those early days before comic shops, and how kids found old comics...

Actually to me it looks like the collage artist did know and was trying to recreate the background with real rocks.

Sure... but if he only knew a mint copy of Avengers 4 would someday be worth a fortune 😂

Howdy gang! I’m at the airport, en route to meet a client in Massachusetts. I’m Director of Comics for PBA Galleries Auctioneers in the San Francisco Bay Area, and my client may have original art to consign to my February sale. But apparently he also has a small stash of vintage comic-related snapshots! Here’s hoping he’ll sell ‘em to me for my archives!

Meanwhile, here’s something fun... some Popeye and Joe Palooka “bop bag” pix from America’s pugilistic past!

Or wait - those are Outer Limits cards! Cool!!
