Yes! Every time my dad went to our local drug store "Bohen's"...man, remember local drug stores?...that weren't Walgreen's or CVS?...anyway, whenever dad was going there for pipe tobacco or cough drops or whatever, I'd go along with him and get to buy a comic book or two...loved them. Dennis the Menace, Millie the Model, Archie, Little Lulu were all my favorites. I remember they were either 12cents (!!!) for the average size ones or 25 cents for bigger, "Special" issues...such as Dennis the Menace visits Yellowstone National Park...I literally remember that one. I loved when there was a special issue. Ha..good times.

My mom said that comic books kept kids interested in reading....
Oh right! I forgot some of those in my response, but I used to LOVE Richie Rich and I remember Little Dot too.

There were also medical comic books at the time. I remember the first one I read, I thought I was going to faint.

I remember reading Blondie, Little Lulu, Felix the Cat, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Popeye, Archie & Veronica, Chip 'n' Dale, Donald Duck, and some of my brothers...like Superman. My brother liked Flash Gordon, Superman, Mad magazine, and monster comics. We would trade comics with the children in the neighborhood. There was also a comic book exchange not far away where you could also buy new comics. Beautiful memories!

Yes, while growing up out of the US, my brothers and I had access to American comics! There was a bookstore in our area that sold American books, comics, magazines etc. We had all those mentioned in earlier posts at the store and probably in our house!!!

We always had “real” books instead.
i remember when I was in the seventh grade and there was a girl in my class who was a straight A student and she had an advanced vocabulary for her age. The teacher asked her where she heard those wordsand I will never forget when she said “ from comic books”
When I heard that, I wanted to read them too.
Maybe that's the reason we weren't allowed to have them! I could never understand why my mom wouldn't let us have them.
