Popular Post Conacon Posted January 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2020 I bought a collection over the weekend full of Silver Age Disney, Looney Tunes, and Harvey. As I'm going through stacks and stacks of titles, I came across several issues in one bag, very neatly stacked in a bundle. The first thing I noticed was the subscription crease they all had. After checking inside I found that they were sequential between 1957-58 (off the top of my head). So this was some kid who got these in the mail and put them away where they stayed in relatively great condition for over 60 years. I just think it's neat to think about a little slice of someone's life like that. mec3437, Krismusic, Frederic9494 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skypinkblu Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Love the Bugs Bunny books:) I wish I had known about subscriptions when I was a kid...I'm sure they were described in the comic book ads, but I doubt I ever read those, or had the nerve to ask for so much money from my parents;) I did have one for a short time to Superman after I got married, but I was afraid people would think I was getting something weird in the brown wrappers.

Sweet Lou 14 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I love the way these books look arranged in a row like that, where their titles look like one continuous ribbon of film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went through a middleman, so I don't know exactly other than the original owner lived in the Tyler, TX area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. I wonder if they did that on purpose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother and I shared a G.I.Joe subscription when we were little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
