My first comic collection obsession. Bought a few with some MADs and I was hooked.

I traded off everything I had for them back in the day. Even though by today's standards, I made some bone headed trades, I was never sorry.

Always thought this was a great splash...

Going through my water damaged issues, I ran across this copy of WESTERN COMICS that

I had forgotten about.

The 15 cent comics had some really good stories...unfortunately I could not afford too many.

Kind of beat up...but a lot of fun to reread.

...and it wasn't until many years later that I found out that LAUGH #20 replaced the

BLACK HOOD run.

That's a striking cover you don't see very often.

As I go through my collection I learn something new every time..FAWCETT introduced

RADAR The International Policeman in CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES #35 and then

in the same month ran his first solo story in MASTER COMICS #50.

Just one of those splash pages that I always enjoy seeing.

Wow Marty Your collection is so varied. It's fun to see the wide variation of comics you picked up back in the day. It must have been hard to choose. What was your favorite must have comic each month?

It's really hard to say but based on the number of specific titles I have, I would say

CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES, STAR SPANGLED COMICS, FLASH COMICS

and LOONEY TUNES & MERRIE MELODIES. Other than those it was anything with

NUMBER ONE on the cover or something that would grab my attention at the moment.

Like this one...how could you not pick it up?
