Tom’s Infamous Wall of Heroes
For a change of pace, I thought I would share a couple
of pictures with the Group. Above is my infamous wall of heroes. My first two
heroes were Batman and Superman, comic book super heroes I discovered in 1947,
at age seven. I guess I read comic books for 33 years, giving them up in 1980.
I had discovered new heroes, not men wearing tights (LOL). In 1963 & ’64, I
discovered Doc Savage and The Shadow, along with REH and ERB, while I was
stationed in France with the US Army. From that time onward, my interest in
comic books began diminishing, and a love for exciting pulp tales was
escalating. On the wall below Superman and Batman you will see Doc Savage, The
Shadow, and The Phantom Detective, three of my all-time favorite heroes from
the pulp magazines – but certainly not the only ones. The picture below is my
den; wall-to-wall pulps, paperbacks, and digest magazines surround the pool
table.
