I download these and read them whenever I feel like. I am not too fond of Beano and Dandy both quite popular in their time. I am not happy with the modern-day DC and Marvel comics for three reasons: don't like superheroes with long hair and ponytails; don't like the comic-books running in parts; and don't like the modern art, however snazzy it may seem. Comics up to the 1990s were good and then they lost it.Prashant C.

For several years we collected comics as they came out, DC and Marvel but also some independent titles ... too many to list and no names coming to mind anyway. We also used to get Beano and Dandy for my son, when we could find them. Maybe some were at used books stores. We still have boxes of them but not 1000. Fond memories.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169151311037688512.post-55286916630177891092013-02-02T10:33:26.507-08:002013-02-02T10:33:26.507-08:00John, I read all the comics you mentioned includin...John, I read all the comics you mentioned including EC's pre- and post-code horror comics (some of which I still have) and Harvey Comics' Richie Rich, Casper, Wendy, Little Dot, Little Lotta, Hot Stuff, and Sad Sack. I don't see these comics now though there are some sites where you can read them online and even download. I am still hanging on to my assorted collection of nearly a 1,000 comic-books dominated by the DC and Marvel clans.Prashant C.

He had a bunch of those and some other superheroes I cant' recall. When I stood next to him looking over the comics at Squash's Newstand in our hometown I couldn't help but be drawn to the lurid images on the horror comics. I used to buy all sorts of those. House of Mystery and House of Secrets were two I remember. These wer 1970s era comics, not the earlier pre-code EC comics. But I wasn't only interested in the scary and gruesome stuff. I also bought a lot of the Harvey comics: Richie Rich, Casper the Friendly Ghost and Wendy, Sad Sack. It was a very sporadic and brief phase in my life. I never became addicted to them or collected them the way I now read voraciously in crime fiction and collect old vintage mysteries.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169151311037688512.post-63369901951801590572013-02-01T21:05:58.079-08:002013-02-01T21:05:58.079-08:00Richard, nearly every Commando comic has a "g...Richard, nearly every Commando comic has a "great" cover. The kind of art you wish you could do yourself. Many of the stories are sentimental and over the board at times.Prashant C.

Tintin and Asterix is religion in India and not a month goes by when I don't read either of the comics. They are hugely popular in this country as I am sure in the rest of Asia. Spielberg's TINTIN ran in theatres for weeks and I am hoping he will buy the film rights for Asterix comics too. I had a few Charlton war comics though I don't recall reading any horror comics under that imprint.Prashant C.
