On Comics and SF

         I've been a collector and reader of Comics and SF most of my life.  My start as a comic collector was in what is now called the Silver age of Comics and it during this time thinks to repirnts I found out about some of the wonderfull heroes of the 40's.  Two that I liked a lot were Captain Marvel and Green Lantern.  

In the mid - 70s I started hitting a lot of one day comic and Star Trek mini-cons in South Florida.  And it was during this time I was able to add some Golden Age Comics to my collection.  And living in Miami was C.C.Beck - the creator of Captain Marvel!  Because of this I was able to get several of my Comics autographed.  Also got to go to Becks house and he was doing covers of old comics as large paintings.  He was doing one of the 1940's Capt. America number one.  Here in his house sitting on an easle was this wonderful painting and next to it was an orginal Capt. America number one. WOW!....

Years latter after I was married I go to a party and one of the people I meet there is Marty Nodell - the creator of the Golden Age Green Lantern. WOW !  Again I am able to get some of my Golden Age Comics autographed. MORE ON COMICS AND SF COMING
