flashlites Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I was born right smack in the middle of the Silver Age. I did not start buying comics until 1972 or so. bc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH19 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I was born in December 1958. A couple of notable books, Flash 105 and Batman 121, came out that month. EmilC, flashlites and Larryw7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I briefly considered buying the comics that came out that month for my spinner rack, but those books changed a lark of a project into an expensive one. flashlites 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bit the bullet and bought both books in the last couple of years. Thankfully, I got relatively good deals on them. I also have Superman 127 and Detective 264 from that month. I would still like to get some of the others. flashlites 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about trying to do the same thing, but fortunately, I came to my senses when I realized how many books there were and how much they would cost. flashlites 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pemart1966 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) I feel sorry for those who were not old enough to buy Silver Age books right off the racks. It was a magical time with great monster models; great gum cards; great Saturday morning cartoons; and of course great comics!

Any time my mom or dad left the house, I asked them to bring me a pack of baseball cards. Loved the gum, and loved, loved, loved those cards. Somehow all those cards disappeared, I think while I was away at college (familiar story, I know). I also enjoyed putting together car models, and then blowing them up with firecrackers. aardvark88, Robot Man, ThothAmon and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
