Pieces of DC Comics History

Life is full of happy accidents. Today, through some means I don't even recall, I found AIBQ. This page is an amazing collection of comics - specifically, DC comics - that run from the 1930's all the way to the 1980's. You will have to download the cdisplay viewer, but it only takes a moment and it is incredibly worth it.

There are 81 different series, for example:

Batman (Spring 1940 to December 1979)

Adventure Comics (November 1938 to September 1983)

Green Lantern (v.1: 1941-1949, v.2: 1960-1986)

Justice league of America ( Oct.Nov. 1960-April 1987)

And of course, my favourites:

All-Flash Quarterly (1941-1948)

The Flash: First Appearance Showcase #4 Sept./Oct. 1956 (as you see here!), plus the full series (1959-1985)

This is, of course, just a few of the comics available - full scans, including advertisements (which is half the fun in reminiscing!). Some of the other famous and infamous titles include Prez; Brother Power; The Phantom Stranger; OMAC; the Metal Men; Plastic Man; the Atom...Well, by now you get the idea. With Xmas vacation coming up, I am truly in DC geek heaven.



God bless us, every one.





Justice League of America #1, Oct./Nov. 1960
