Also, just out of curiosity, how did I get the "Jimmy Olsen Fan Club" title underneath my name? I didn't put it there. Title: Re: This site's online comic collection is THE BEST!!!! Post by: MatterEaterLad on August 28, 2006, 08:55:33 PM There are really not a lot of sites like this that print stories in their entirety, especially since nightwing has linked most of his comics into the comics list here...I think there was a comics reading room that had stories, but has since gone defunct...
There are some Superman newspaper strips printed here: http://www.thespeedingbullet.com/ And of course the Super Hero's Hostess snacks adventures here: http://www.seanbaby.com/hostess.htm The category under your name (Jimmy Olsen Fan Club) is just a category automatically assigned based on the number of posts here...

Nope, none is as good as us! Besides, we've got so many comics here (http://superman.nu/tales/1930s.php) that they should last you quite a while. Quote from: "MatterEaterLad" ..I think there was a comics reading room that had stories, but has since gone defunct... The comic book reading room has re-opened. I don't know the URL off hand. :s: Title: Re: This site's online comic collection is THE BEST!!!! Post by: Klar Ken T5477 on August 29, 2006, 04:27:47 PM Reading room
http://www.reading-room.net/ scrolldown til you see the covers. Title: Re: This site's online comic collection is THE BEST!!!! Post by: MatterEaterLad on August 29, 2006, 04:44:47 PM Hey, it is back, not a bad small selection there...
Actually, it does take quite a while to read all the stories here, and it's worth it as it shows the progression of the true Superman mythos through time...and there's always waiting for next page of "K-Metal from Krypton!"to come out... 8) Title: Re: This site's online comic collection is THE BEST!!!! Post by: Klar Ken T5477 on August 29, 2006, 04:56:41 PM I just read Goblin's first appearance there and frankly it was news to me -- ah Ditko.
And yeah - theres a SUPERb amount here of Superman-DC classics! :s: Title: Re: This site's online comic collection is THE BEST!!!! Post by: MatterEaterLad on August 29, 2006, 05:10:38 PM Since I don't have any of my comics anymore, its cool to look at the weird Mike Sekowsky JLA drawings again, he drew a mean cheek swell every time the martian Manhunter used his mighty breath (which was almost every story)...also good to see Wonder Woman order Snapper Carr around... 8)

Title: Re: This site's online comic collection is THE BEST!!!! Post by: MatterEaterLad on September 09, 2006, 06:11:55 PM Rao (the site owner and admin) posts them, not speaking for him, but I think more or less when they meet the goals of the site and when he has time...I think he is willing to post stories that others send in that meet the requirements, but I assume folks check with him on format, etc.
