Today's Webtip: Comic Museums

online collections of golden age comics.

Comics, the dead paper kind featuring people who like tights, have seen experienced quite a comeback the last couple of years. Sales numbers haven't quite returned to what they once were, but the industry seems to be a bit more optimistic than it was 10 years ago.

The success of many movie franchises has inspired quite a few kids and adults to explore the print past of their favorite film friends. Something that has been made easier by digital distribution.

But what about those really ancient titles? The ones that date back to the early to mid 20th century? Titles that even the most hardcore collector has only ever seen references to are now available for viewing on a pair of sites dedicated to comics that have come into the public domain.

comicbookplus.com and digitalcomicmuseum.com both have massive collections that should keep you smirking for months. Kids, these ARE your great grandparents comics.
