A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

I emailed a librarian as well if she could find the original issues of Captain America from the older eras of Marvel Comics: from the 1940s to the 1950s when Jack Kirby was working for Timely and Atlas, I think.

I would prefer to use my local library as opposed to MU if anyone can direct me to some resources of the older comics made back then.

I may have posted about Captain America using that app beforehand.

You might be able to find digitals copies of them on hoopla. It has tons of comics and it uses your library card to allow you to borrow them.

I'm a Hoopla user who can't find the first issues, apparently.

[–] tingly@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ah okay. Hoopla might not have them then. I did find this, but I've never downloaded a comic from here before so I'm not sure if it's legit or not.

I don’t use that website, to be honest.
