Golden memories from a Golden Age


The 1980s were the Golden Age of DC  anniversary issues. I have all of these except for the Adventure and the World's Finest. Being able to consistently buy new, original DCs was still a new feeling in the early to mid 80s, with comic shops just starting in NZ, after years of mostly only KG Murray black and white Aussie reprints.


I sent away for Justice League # 200 to Donald Whyte of Buffalo, New York after seeing his ad in the first price guide I bought, the 1982-3 edition. The thrill of receiving what was my first overseas parcel and reading that comic featuring my favourite superhero team was just overwhelming. I read it so many times and Gerry Conway delivered a great story with fantastic art by Perez.
