Golden Age Comics on DVD...The Big Red Cheese!

[Kaze9999]

I found this, and as long as you can deal with PDF rather than paper, I think it's awesome these old comics are available in a collection for ten bucks! I am not old enough to have read these when they came out, but I am old enough to have read a collection in--hardback which is now falling apart--as a boy and to have become a big fan!

This is the other line which actually introduced 'The Big Red Cheeze'!

I might have to pick this up. As much as I like the dead tree format, these DVD collections are pretty economical. I remember Marvel had a couple of these DVD collections for silver-age onward, but I think they were much more expensive.

True. That's because these guys only deal in old, public domain media. Marvel licensed some of their series to a 3rd party that charged three or four times as much for DVD's until Marvel decided they weren't getting enough for their content and let the license lapse and started a flash-based subscription service for old, back issues. Those old Marvel series DVD's go for about ten times as much now on ebay.

I have these, but they aren't PDFs (unless they changed since when I bought them). I forget the name of the format they're in, but it basically displays them as comic book pages.

It's a great bargain as you get almost the complete series. There are a few missing issues here and there.

You can also get near-complete runs of Quality Comics (Plastic Man, Phantom Lady, the Ray, Doll Man), Fox Comics (Blue Beetle), and other publishers that went kaput in the '40s and '50s.

The comics themselves are in the public domain so there are a bunch of different sellers out there with different formats and different levels of quality to their scans. I think these guys--'everything4lessstore'--were the only guys, for example to have a scan of the first Whiz comic that actually introduces the Big Red Cheeze! And everything4lessstore specifically say that they're selling in the PDF format. There are (legal, honest!) sites where you can download the .cbz format for free, but they tend to have a lot of gaps in their series runs.

Digital comic museum (link follows) is one of those:

I'm also someone who prefers these sorts of things in book form, but I'm glad they exist in different formats for other folks.
