fishbone Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 ASM #33 for sure !! and not sure so much about "reading" it, but just "experiencing" those 3 pages of anguish Spidey goes thru and the way Ditko expresses it with his art...Just incredible !!! Unca Ben 1

I had to search for months to find a copy of FF #4 back in 1962. I was able to pick up the Avengers #4 off the rack a couple of years later. I'd also have to add Amazing Fantasy 15, which was and still is a huge favorite (in part because I bought it and JIM 83 at Sid's on the same day in early summer of 1962). Knightsofold 1

I love that you got those off the rack! Any pictures? Where the comics in a spinner or shelf with other magazines? Were the Marvel comics only a small section compared to the rest? Did they stick out? what type of store is Sid's? Where did you end up getting the FF#4? Did you know who Cap and Subby were from seeing Golden Age comics, or were these the first time you saw them? Thanks for sharing!
JohnH19 Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 ASM issues 39 to 56 are my favorite extended run. I read them 50 years ago when I was eight years old and they made an indelible impression on me. Everything about those stories seemed so vivid and real. Some other classics are ASM 31-33, 88-90, 121 & 122, Superman 149 "The Death of Superman" freaked me out as a five or six year old, FF 48-51 and Annual 6, Detective 366 & 367 and the Thor run from 101 to around 140.

All of Sid's books were in two large magazine racks. (Probably 12 feet wide by 6 feet high altogether). The comics were relegated to the lower right hand quarter, so about 6 x 3ft). Men's magazines, photography, woman's stuff, sports, you name it occupied the other 3/4's. Pocket sized books were in two spinner racks. (I bought all of the ACE Burroughs books with the Frazetta and Krenkle covers there). I'd heard of Cap and Subby but had never seen them before (except for Strange Tales #114 where "Cap" and the Torch did battle on the cover). Cap turned out to be the Acrobat but it set the stage for Avengers 4 in another 4 months. And then in another 9 months Cap teamed up with Sgt Fury. Marvel mania was rocking by then... I have scans of all the books but not on this laptop. Maybe soon...

Jeffro. Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Amazing Adult Fantasy 9 - Tim Boo Ba, baby! Seriously. It's awesome
KirbyJack Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 For pure silver age grandeur, the Mangog story from Thor 154-157 is hard to top. Still my favorite Thor story! FoggyNelson 1
