I visited a thread on 8chan a long while back that started off by making fun of the newest comics run of The Shadow, an old pulp hero. It was a reboot, and there was something to do with school shooters. However, that doesn't matter that much.
What does matter is that as the thread went on, people started being nostalgic about the old stuff, and that led to people posting about a fairly old Batman crossover that had something to do with Shangri-La. The real meat came when someone posted a ton of links to the old radio plays and, I think, comics done in the 50s. God, there was nothing more amazing than seeing all these old fans come together.
The bad news is that I did not save the links, along with the thread probably being lost to time. I still have my memories though.
Of course, I could still look them up online, but I guess it won't be the same.
I just think it's really nice when people go looking for the old works, lost to some back alley comic book store.
Cool! I’ve been collecting comic books since I was 10 (now 40) and I remember reading that at some comic shops the back issues out sell current stuff. There are a few modern day comics I like but I’m turned off by a lot of them. One thing I’ve enjoyed is picking up original avengers, Thor, and fantastic four runs.
You know, this reminds me of something.

I recently found a reprint of the original Eternals. I need to find some if the New Gods. I know that Hollywood won’t be telling Jack Kirby’s story.
