[Joe]

i think 110 is the 1st appearance

 

[Joe]

but maybe they retold the origin in a later issue?

 

[jack]

and of course 101 is the most desireable, 1st solo human torch. fun series, I used to buy those off the stands for a dime and 2 pennies

 

[Joe]

115 has spiderman and the human torch on the front

 

[jack]

@MANCID RILKO i didnt, hold on

 

[Joe]

those silver age marvels are very fragile tho

 

[jack]

LOL

 

[Joe]

the paper quality is poor & they fell apart very easily

 

[jack]

just keep em bagged and boarded, the newer supllies are acid free and DO NOT SEAL THE BAG WITH TAPE, just tuck the flap in like an envelope.

 

[Joe]

yeah ok

 

[Joe]

i don't have have a financial motive for buying them

 

[Joe]

i just like to read them for the stories and art

 

[jack]

you should never have one. They are to be read and enjoyed thoroughly before passing them on, unless you're also collecting.

 

[Joe]

most were cheeseball but fun

 

[jack]

sounds like you got the best 5 in that run though. Good job

 

[Joe]

now comic books are way too serious

 

[Joe]

i like that old drawing style a la Jack Kirby

 

[jack]

I havent read a new book in ages, except for Marvel Zombies, and World War Hulk, which were both pretty fun

 

[Joe]

cuz they looked cartoony it was more fun

 

[jack]

Kirby was always my fave when he was pumping them out.

 

[Joe]

same with 1930-1950 American cartoons

 

[jack]

he and Stan could produce a dozen books a month like that back in the day
