NoMan Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 I was wondering the other day who the first person to start collecting comic books was. I know I asked this question here a couple of years ago, however I did a lot of acid in college and can't remember yesterday let alone a couple of years ago. I believe it was someone who worked at a drug store as a kid? an Adult? As always, thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senormac Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 We know it had to be sometime since comic books began to be published so that's what, mid 30's ? Edgar Church must be in the top somewhere. grendelbo and BlowUpTheMoon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCOComics Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 There was a thread about this in the GA section. A board member did a ton of research and shared a really interesting story. I'll see if I can locate that thread BigLeagueCHEW and jimjum12 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
