I grew up in the late 50's, early 60's, me and local friends would meet and trade comic books, though we called then funny books at the time.
I was always on the lookout for the military themed ones.
There was even some 40's comic books still floating around.
Wasn't much interested i Superman, Batman, Or the others, I'd read them once and trade them off for Sgt. Rock, Enemy Ace, etc.
Once I got one of those I'd never get traded out of it.
I was the youngest in my family, once I entered the Air Force my parents moved to DC and rented out the home place.
All my comic books, models and more disappeared in the 6 years the house was rented.
Once I got out in 73, my first instinct was to search out some people and kick some butt, but then I got interested in other things.
