Awesome video Keston. This is right in my wheelhouse.. good ole fashion knowledge and history lesson. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom, and can’t wait to see more content correlated to this topic 👍

Thanks, UpNorth! Glad you enjoyed it. This is a modified presentation I've been giving in person at community clubs. Thought I'd convert it into a video.

@@kestonsoldschoolcomicbooks6842 I would love to attend something like that someday. The history of comics is fascinating to me and pushing me more to get into golden age in the future

@doctorshawn3461 4 месяца назад

I love how you put Eerie comics 1 in there🧛‍♂🧛‍♂🧛‍♂. Maybe would have started the video with Famous Funnies 1 (FF1) or Funnies on Parade, but I am biased because I own a copy of FF1 😀

@kestonsoldschoolcomicbooks6842 4 месяца назад

Thanks Dr. Shawn! Heh, heh. Yeah, I was trying to tell the story of golden and silver-age in under 10 minutes. I LOVE Famous Funnies and Funnies on Parade. In this case, I left them on the cutting room floor b/c of scope. nevertheless, two books that do NOT get enough love in my opinion. Thanks for commenting, my friend!

I have a friend that thinks I'm crazy for spending so much money on Golden Age comics. I shared your video. :)

@kestonsoldschoolcomicbooks6842 4 месяца назад

Haha. Thanks, Shane. My collecting mentor says -- buy quality items that are rare and sought after by sophisticated collectors. In comic books, that's golden age books to me. First appearances (for the few folks who can afford them) and great covers are the coin of the realm! Thanks for sharing the video :-)

British comics are the best, from post WW2 until the 1980s. They had lots of different characters in each comic & we were the only nation to have these. Superheroes from the US were beyond our pocket money. Beano Dandy Victor Hotspur Lion Topper Beezer Eagle (pricey!). That was the 60s.

@kestonsoldschoolcomicbooks6842 4 месяца назад

Thanks Seltaeb. I just looked up several of the characters you mentioned. They're fun. Thanks for leaving a comment!

@christophertomasello1227 3 месяца назад

I agree with most everything you said with the exception of the census. I think that it is inaccurate due to the resubmissions of collectors (not informing cgc)

@kestonsoldschoolcomicbooks6842 3 месяца назад

Hi, Christopher. Thanks for the comment. I've been thinking about making a video about how much folks can trust the CGC census. There are factors that inflate the numbers and also factors that deflate them relative to how many books still exist.

@christophertomasello1227 3 месяца назад

Specifically, I collect pre-code horror from the EC line from 1950 to 1955- with fewer than 100 books on the census for each issue, I can tell you that one person could totally mess up those numbers-@@kestonsoldschoolcomicbooks6842

@@kestonsoldschoolcomicbooks6842 No worries. As much fun as it can be to pick out your favourite covers it 's also a daunting task.

@kestonsoldschoolcomicbooks6842 4 месяца назад

Good eye! That is true. I was careful to say 1st official appearance in the video re Marvel 1 :-). In fact, I made a video about his first unofficial appearance, which CGC calls his "first printed appearance" in Marvel Picture Funnies Weekly #1. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F-u5RzLTz98.html
