Digital Comics Museum

Pretty cool. I'm downloading all these old golden age comics, browsing, then deleting them. Click the headline to see what i'm talking about.
Check out that Wrestling move in the Ad Tom Moon.

All right! Kimura!

Great site. If only they could electronically transmit the texture and smell of old comics as well.

I recommend the Avon Comics Strange Worlds series. Lots of old Wally Wood and Al Williamson with just a touch here and there of Frazetta.
You're right Tom. That crispy crumbly feeling is missing.

On the cover of the "Out of This World" comic, it looks like it says, "Crom, the Barbarian". A Conan ripoff?

Tom Moon said...

Wow, what a Conan ripoff. They couldn't even be bothered to think of a more original name than "Crom".

Tom this was a sweet spot where an entire generation had no knowledge of Conan. The Lancer books with the Frazetta covers brought Robert E Howard back to life.
I'm certain this story caused no cries of plagiarism .

Doesn't Conan worship a god called "Crom"? Perhaps this guy exclaims "Conan!" all the time.
