Just wondering how everyone came to find Golden Age Comic download website or support forum?

Tell us how you found us, give us your story...

Thanks, Serj

Through a nostalgia/writing board and darn it!  now I can't remember which one.  I'm glad I came, I'm looking forward to reading all the early 20th century magazines for girls.

Welcome lots of good stuff for you in the UK section as well as some comics you might like from Parents Magazine

I was looking for "Tit-Bits Science Fiction Library" - the entry on Google mentioned  '...comics', so I came on in. No chance of the SF Library, I suppose? They were not comics, just cheap (9d) pb's with gaudy covers - fun reading back in the 50's..

Hello senlac. Glad you found your way here.  Those s.f. ninepennies are seriously difficult to find.  I don't have any of them. Some of the other British members might have them, or scans of them, tucked away somewhere, but I think it is unlikely.  Up toa few years ago there was a shop in Glasgow with a pile of old paperbacks and Tit Bit style "novels" but no longer.  I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.
However, there are lots of interesting and highly entertaining British, French Canadian and American "pulps" to explore.  Enjoy yourself.

French Canadian pulps? On CB+? Where? Which ones?

[paw broon]

Piles of them - well quite a few, anyway, here:-

Oh thanks. I went looking for some on here before and never found them. I guess the flag of FRANCE threw me off the trail.

Hello everyone,

I have been doing volunteer research for Joe Sinnott and his son Mark in trying to locate Joe's Charlton work in order to complete his collection.  While searching I happened to come upon the CBP site and was very impressed, as were Joe and Mark.  Will be posting more stuff including the extended version of the  interview I did with Joe for Filmfax Magazine a few years back plus, hopefully, a new version of the splash page from "The Day Manhattan Died"(Gorgo # 5) and other graphics.

Welcome to the site Glad we can be of help. We are volunteers that put a lot of our time and money and happy when it pays off. BTW does Joe do commissions?

[giggle-ite]

Hi! Am a newbie here. Cool site. I have my own comic strip called 'Walnutz', which can be seen at www.giggletoonz.com. Would appreciate any encouragement! Thanks.

the giggle-ite.

[narfstar]

Welcome Giggle enjoy the many comics.

[paw broon]

the giggle-ite. ?  I like that.  Welcome to CB+.

[giggle-ite]

Thank you.     Love this site. I am a lover of 'pen technique', and old comics and comic strips are the best way to enjoy it. I use an old quill type pen of my Grandmothers', an old PesterBrook&Co. inflexible 322, for most of my ink work. Lettering is another story. Don't care for lettering but one does need to do it. My current strips on my website (www.giggletoonz.com) are a different pen, an old Scripto fountain pen of my Maamaws that I inherited. It just doesn't produce what I now desire, in technique.

Hello! I came across a link to this site on another site (I think it was called Weird Universe) and I'm glad I did, there's  a lot of wonderful stuff here.

To Giggle-ite, re lettering: Back in the day I lettered some strips with a Scripto fountain pen and was happy with the results, BUT I never found a truly waterproof ink and my sweaty hand smeared the lettering while I inked. My preferred tool is an ancient Esterbrook Probate Stub dip nib. Back when I first started drawing comics I sought out this nib because in an interview my hero Milton Caniff said he (or rather, Frank Engli) used it to letter "Terry and the Pirates." I only found a couple of them so I've guarded them carefully over the years. Luckily they last forever. Unluckily my lettering hand ain't as steady as it used to be.

[giggle-ite]

  I used a B6 pen nib for my lettering back in 1986 maybe 1985. It does the job pretty good.
  Pen and ink are just cool, when you get used to it. At first I got weirded out over the 'scratch' of the pen on paper, but it soon went away after learning the amount of pressure needed to do the job, combined with the proper paper/board. I like coldpress, it produces much better results when inking my cartoons.
  My PesterBrook nib for the art, with a B6 for lettering work comic strips well.

I came across this site in another site called Pearltrees.com. Glad I did, would not have found it otherwise.

[narfstar]

I do not know anything about Pearltrees but glad they pointed you our way.

Google search while looking for detective story magazine.

[Quian]

Via search. Have actually been here before. But had a system crash and lost my fave-links. Had never joined, before.
Did most of my "obtaining" via P2P (eMule and such) before. But those site are mostly unavailable in the US now. So... here I is!

Hi good people.
Found this site via Google while looking for Hornet & Wizard Comics.

I'm slowly building a collection of any comic or comic Annual that has a "William Wilson" story in it. My web site is not quite as enormous as yours as its dedicated to the Worlds Greatest Athlete; William Wilson. CB+ is an amazing site, well done to you guys.

Take a look at www.theamazingwilson.com (no ads).

[narfstar]

Thank you and we welcome you to the site aj

[paw broon]

Hello ajsimmo and welcome to CB+.  I've had a look and bookmarked the site, so I'm expecting updates   
Although I'm familiar with Wilson, the link might entice other members to have a look and, hopefully, become fans.
Meanwhile enjoy the comics and let's hear from you on the forum.

[ajsimmo]

Cheers guys,
I hope there are a few fans out there.

Updates when I get new material.

See you in the forums.

AJ

I'm a big fan of giant monsters, so a friend pointed me to the site after a discussion about Reptisaurus. So once i get through the Charlton comics I already know about (Konga, Gorgo, Reptilicus/Reptisaurus) I will start trying to find other giant monster stories.
