I found your site through the Internet while browsing for info on the Greyfriars School stories written by Frank Richards in the Magnet comic. I could not believe that EVERY issue of the Magnet can be found and read on here.
My favourite superheroes when I was a boy were Robin and Captain Marvel Junior. I always read the Beano, the Topper and when I got older the Wizard.

Welcome Brian - you are amongst friends here! I'm also a big Bunter fan - in fact, I even model my diet on him!

Hi folks,
My name is Dick and I found this wonderful database/forum while looking at pre-code horror comics.
A great site that I'll be visiting often.

Welcome sherif sharmy!

Jump in and enjoy!

Now the question has to be, is there an Egyptian comic scene?

Please enlighten us, and if you can supply links, please do!

Sherif,

The books on this site are PD -which means, in the public domain, which means no company has a copyright on them as that has run out in the country where they were printed. So they are all very old.
If they are new, they can't be scanned to Comic Book plus.

But please tell us about Egyptian comic books in your posts. We want to learn.

I don't understand this question. We may have a translation problem here.

Thank you.

I know that Egypt has had a Disney comic book series, as I've had 5 of my own Donald Duck stories printed in their Mickey Mouse Comic book. I imagine that they have many of the popular American and European, and Arab World comic books. I collect the older US Mutt & Jeff comic books from the 1940s and 1950s.

I have plenty of the Arabic Mickey magazine and could scan some if you want. Cheers

I collect foreign copies of my stories, so I would love to get scans of my Egyptian printings. I'll send you a personal message on this website's My Messages Box facility and we can go from there.

PS: I lived and worked in Luxor for a few years, in Jordan for 6, Syria, Morocco and Sudan. But that was in the 1970s and early 1980s, before I started comic book work. So, I haven't been back to buy my Egyptian printings. I sent a list of them to you in a personal message to your Comic Book Plus My Messages box.
شكرا جزيلا لعرضك الكريم

Sorry, the font size tool won't allow large font size of Arabic characters to be displayed starting from their proper right side of the message box. I can only get it to the right side if it is a tiny font size or a very short number of characters. And I can't use a period, because when I place it at the correct left end of the sentence, the program relocates it to the right side.

I will upload as much as I can. Also, I have 23 binders of comics and over 200 separate issues. I found that these are decaying so I must, in a hurry, scan them all. Anyway, expect something new soon. I am now uploading a file called MUTT AND JEFF.
I have trying to locate any software to convert PDF to CBR or CBZ but failed. Do you have any idea how to do so. Please let me know
Cheers

Hi Sherif,
We have NO "Mutt and Jeff" comic books on this website, that I could find, as most of them are NOT in The Public Domain. But Digital Comics Museum just got Mutt and Jeff No. 9, a 1924 hard-bound Book compilation of the newspaper comic strip. Many, if not most of the scanners, who scan comics to that website, also upload them to CB+; so we should be seeing that one uploaded here reasonably soon. I assume that it includes daily strips from all of 1923. I read through it, and they are really funny and very nice early artwork. I'm glad at least those particular compilation books are PD.

The book has arrived here, and is available for downloading. You can find it here:

https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=79118

And the good news is that we have 3 of The early Cupples and Leon Mutt and Jeff newspaper strip compilation books, altogether.

Went searching for public domain comics as I realized that most modern comics just aren't much fun. Used a basic search. If it took much savvy to do you, I'd been been out of luck.

The Australian Panther · « **Reply #1042 on:** August 26, 2021, 01:34:34 AM »

Well Doug,

It seems that you were in luck! So welcome to CB+ - dig in and enjoy!

Can I ask, where are you from?

Cheers!

narfstar · « **Reply #1043 on:** August 26, 2021, 02:35:18 PM »

Welcome Doug. Other than AC Comics I get no new paper comics because, I agree, they are not fun. The indy scene has everything though. I am the editor and chief of InDELLible Comics the revival of Dell Comics. Back to fun comics and like the Golden Age stuff with multi-genre anthologies. Check us out www.indelliblecomics.com

Hello Doug and welcome to CB+. Glad you found your way here.
"most modern comics just aren't much fun"
I'd go along with that.
Lots to discover and read, so get going, and please join in the conversations.

These are not [PD] public domain, so we can't host them

, but look around the site for some of the rest.

Cheers!

Hi,

I found you thru a link posted by the New York Public Library for a discussion of Matt Baker's Phantom Lady.

The Australian Panther · « **Reply #1048 on:** January 29, 2022, 01:29:32 AM »

willb1414,
welcome aboard.

Plenty here to enjoy!

Are you in NY or elsewhere?

ChildhoodHeart · « **Reply #1049 on:** January 29, 2022, 03:47:47 PM »

Google . . .

Looking forward to perusing. I'm 57 and have three older siblings, so I grew up with their interests as well as my own. I'd be on the lookout for the latest Spiderman, Daredevil, Fantastic Four and Defenders titles (along with the never-ending fascination with horror, i.e. Famous Monsters of Filmland...)...but equally drawn to the old circa late 50's early 60's stuff my siblings had laying around. Good times! Cheers, y'all!
