Given all the different comics eras represented in these marvelous photos, this thread really should be in the General section for all to see...

That’s a good point! Is there a way to move it? Or maybe I should start a new thread in that category...

You could report your post, and ask a mod to move it.

One of my best: Alfred E. Neuman before Mad, circa 1909. I bought this from a major collector of vintage Brooklyn photos. It’s the only known vintage photographic print of this image. Pre-Mad Neuman pix are one of my fave categories.

Was wondering where this was in Brooklyn, so I looked around. Found this. Here's the other side! By the way, all of these pictures are so good, I passed out haha. Thanks for showing them!(thumbsu(thumbsu:bigsmile:

A few pictures (when the world was black and white) with me, my brothers and some of the 'summer' neighborhood friends in the mid 60's. Comics featured in these pics are TTA #33 and 15, JIM # 75 and #70, Amazing Adult Fantasy # 8 Fantasy Masterpieces # 1 and FF # 55. Those who have a copy of Comic Book Marketplace  # 25 July 1995 may want to read "The rest of the story" in "Trap-Door Tree House Comics". Comic Books and Baseball...our summers were awesome.

Thank you Lions Den. These photos were taken on a 'brownie' camera during the summertime mid 60's in Saginaw Michigan. Discovering our summer friend's comics which they kept in their tree house behind their family restaurant really opened my eyes to Marvel monster comics which is mainly what they had. The freedom that the 60's offered for a kid who lived somewhat rurally was incredible. I appreciate the opportunity to have lived that. Marvel 'breaking out', 80 Page DC Giants were the Wonder Years for sure. Most of the kids that I knew read comics or had them lying around the house. I remember one friend giving me a Tales of Suspense # 55, another friend giving me a Daredevil (Marvel) #2 and yet another friend giving me a stack of early Adventure featuring the Legion of Superheroes. Those were the days!
