I know how you feel. I had all the Marvel Silver Age books collecting from 1972 till about 1992 when I sold them. Then in 2003 I started getting them back from EBay. And now I have most of them back….can’t beat the Silver Age! Thanks for another great vid!

I sold my comics collection too. It turns my stomach too. Oh, well. I’ve never been able to get them back. I enjoyed your tales of the Silver Age.

After reading the comments above, I guess I am fortunate in that I kept my comic book collection from yesteryear.

Many thanks! I have a lot of Silver Age comics in my storage shed, but they’re just sitting there for now. I didn’t start collecting comics on my own until the early 1970s and have some really obscure stuff. I still have the first appearance of Wolverine, which I recall buying off the rack in Rexall’s Drug Store ;-] My favorites were the horror and science fiction comics and the best creators (in my opinion) are Neal Adams and Alan Moore!

I enjoyed this vlog, Steve. To me, the ’60s were the real Golden Age (we must be in the Copper or Tin Age now). But – good work is still being produced, if you know where to find it. “The spirit of comics remains strong and continues.” I like that.

Thank you, there are still great comics, you’re right. As you said, you just have to know where to find it. Most of the finest comics that I see these days is being produced in the comics small press, basically an “amateur” network, but these “amateurs” very often outshine the so-called pros.

I usually write a comic script in two drafts: a hand written original that I can alter and put notes on, and then a final typed draft. It may take a day, it may take several days, y’know, just until I’m happy with the script. Thanks for asking

None that I want to see, but check out ebay and other websites, you’re sure to find them there. Also, keep a look out for conventions in your area, they’re great fun and you can find tons of silver age comics (see my MegaCon videos). Happy hunting!
