Golden Years Publications
« on: July 10, 2009, 09:44:45 PM »

Found this website while searching for various GA topics.

http://home.insightbb.com/~GoldenYears/Library.html

Does anyone know what happened to steve_rogers_captain_america@Yahoo.com aka Eric?
Great site for unusual "GoldenAge" reprint books. Is he a member here by chance? I would like to get any of the CD's he had and yes I know most of those stories are here I just like weird stuff and think hib books are great.

Eric is a member (srca1941), though as I recall, the non-comics world has been keeping him awfully busy.  But he does stop in from time to time with good information.

As with a lot of the older sites, though, I wouldn't necessarily bet on the CDs still being available.  On the other hand, look through his past messages (you'll see a link on his profile page).  I seem to recall that the reason his scans are all here is because he uploaded his entire contents somewhere for us.  That mirror might still be around.

Hi DOC,
Yes, Steve is in DEED a member in high standing on GAC!
If you go to the download site and do a search for 'srca1941' you'll see how many of his books are now up.
srca1941 plans on sharing more from his collection as time permits.  As John mentioned - Steve is a busy man but his love of GA comics will never be in doubt.

Thanks for the info guys, I found his current e-mail on his profile so am writing him. I take those "issues" of his on his old web-site were not downloaded here.
Thanks again!!!  :)

Hi Doc,
Not sure about your last sentence.
Steve liked to produce his own theme anthologies creating each 'issue' from various publishers.
We at GAC tend to want to share the original books as is, preferably cover-to-cover with warts and all.
Steve's site had more of a 'best of' philosophy.

Some of his stories have been collected on the site and are saved under the original publishers name and numbering.  We also did the same for Bill Nolan's amazing site - Pure Excitement and he even allowed us to incorporate the dvds he sold into the site.

You can find it still up at this link - http://tinyurl.com/7ygwg

Thanks YOC, wish I had known about these sites years ago. I just like these amalgam type of books. This site is a god send, so is anyone here thinking of doing stories with PD heroes?

Yep, those were great sites.
And along with R&D's 'Good Guys and Gals of the Golden Age' and 'HooHaa' (both no longer alive) there were some great sites out there devoted to GA stories.  Stories more than complete books.
Today the 'Blog' seems the way to go and there are a lot of great ones out there as well.

Particular notice should be made of the following blogs IMO-
http://thehorrorsofitall.blogspot.com/  (precode horror)
http://pappysgoldenage.blogspot.com/   (GA in general and favoured artists)
http://goldenagecomicbookstories.blogspot.com/    (Mr. Door Tree's mostly artist focused with pulps, paperback and comics as well)



There are fanfic sites that use PD heroes out there.  DM has written many things.
Actually doing comics we know Project: Superpowers is 'sorta' using a big pile of them.

Thanks YOC, I have two of those, didn't know about the horror one, Pappy's had an article about Alan Hanley a while back, he was a local fanzine artist who did a lotta stuff about GA heroes. Yeah it's too bad those sites are down I would have given them sections on my site to preserve them if I knew they were going away.
Bounty, I will look for your thread, I am actually using Wonder-Man (Fox) and Mighty-Man (Fawcett) for a series I am doing, hope to have others do cameos

Was'nt Mighty Man a Centaur Character ?

Maybe your thinking of MASTER Man from Master Comics number one ?

Of course there is a connection of sorts between Wonder Man and Master Man, they were both Superman pretenders shot down by DC Comics in short order.

I can see it now, the pair of them teaming up to discredit Superman and put HIM out of business !

H'mm not a bad idea there, I may run it passed the guy who writes the FanFic for my archives and see what he can do with it  ;).
