It's late, I'm not tired, and I feel like posting something. Let's jump back to the halcyon days of superheroes with 60's Marvel and some early Daredevil. I think I can fit the first nine issues within the image limit. I'll include the frankly ridiculous 60's ads and the letter pages too. Let's fuckin go.

Did anyone ever actually own a set of encyclopedias? That seems like something only people who wanted to looked learned would own, and anybody that would ever need to look something up in an encyclopedia would just go to the library.
Colton Sullivan
Now on sale!!
Leo Young
Yes my grandma had two whole shelves of Encyclopedia Britannica I think, I remember leafing through them as a kid not knowing what the fuck they were about honestly
But put away those fancy books and go learn a trade in the automotive industry

Absolutely most middle class families had a set of encyclopedias. Supermarkets used to sell them, one volume a week and parents would build a set that way.
Samuel Kelly
More fun stuff going on at the time
Nathan Rodriguez
Also included in this issue: The Origin of THE ARCHITECT
Colton Green
Are you actually 12? Like dead serious question. I had two sets growing up. Every library had and still has old sets.
Genuinely the most retarded question ever asked. Even for a zoomer. But if you’re older than 25 asking this you’re dead retarded.

A vanished hobby Kids used to have pen pals in other countries, schools encouraged kids to write to servicemen overseas.There used to be three mail deliveries a day. The most people write on paper to mail these days are their signatures on Christmas cards,. Ki

>I'll use a tire as a slingshot and this engine as a missile
Daredevil would need superhuman strength to do this. Stretching out a tire to fire an engine block using just your feet and arms with enough force to take out a truck.
Jackson Nguyen
Landon Walker
I would like to take a moment to point out how utterly fucking insane this single page is
Ayden Martin
Jonathan Ross
yeah it seems like in these early days they played very fast and loose with what Daredevil could do
Cooper Carter
Jaxson Carter

Lincoln Smith
>Give your father Korean War flashbacks by painting your face in this authentic camouflage paint!
Justin Mitchell
Mason Ramirez
Chase Nguyen
that one part stuck out to me when I was reading these, otherwise it's pretty tight and this is one of the great early issues.
Logan Gonzalez
It always amuses me that a good chunk of this iconic character's first cover is devoted to Spidey, the Fantastic Four, and some floating heads while something more fitting a first issue cover is on the left.
Thanks for storytiming this by the way. Maybe I was just reading a lot of Kirby and Dito's stuff at the time so it made for a change of pace, but I always thought Bill Everett's art in this first issue was nice.
Liam Adams
Jeremiah Cruz
I guess the way it worked back in them days was to plaster the cover with the already famous characters to hype the new guy. but Jesus they forced Spidey on fuckin everything. But what gets me most of all is how LONG these stories feel. They clock in around 22 pages without ads but you feel like you ran a marathon by the end.
