Why thanks Marty. I aim to please.

 

Question for you. When buying your comics off the rack did you search through the pile for the best copy or did you just grab the one in front?

 

Usually the one in front or on the top of the pile unless the cover was bent or beat up.

As a rule the condition of most comics was always good.

I remember that this was a title that was not easy to find on the newsstand...

I was only able to find three issues.

Going through my coverless comics I ran across PEP #59 with a BLACK HOOD

story where he never puts on a costume and a SHIELD AND DUSTY story where

THE SHIELD is credited as "THE ORIGINAL"...I don't remember there being another

one.

Looking back through some old stuff I remember that this store did not have any

comic books...they had TIME and LOOK and LIFE but no comics.

Compared to what I was used to seeing on the newsstand, these were truly different.

My dad was a little younger, I'm not sure if he hid these books. I know he loved them. His mother got upset with him when he told her he was going to see a reissue of The Ghost of Frankenstein, so I'd imagine she wouldn't like these either.

I was going to see Universal FRANKENSTEIN, WOLF MAN and DRACULA movies alone

when I was ten years old...it was a different world them.

My dad saw them alone too(when he could get away with it). He said that a local theater would have the old horror movies every Tuesday night as a way to counter the early rise of TV(it wasn't working). He remembers sitting in an empty theater watching Son of Dracula, and said it was a very spooky experience.

Going through my collection I can always count on finding something I don't

remember like this from MARMADUKE MOUSE #1.
