Description: The Comic Reader (TCR) was a comics news-fanzine published from 1961 to 1984. Debuting in the pre-direct market era (before the proliferation of comics retailers), TCR was the first regularly published comics industry news fanzine, and was able to secure many contacts from within the ranks of the larger publishers. As TCR increased in popularity and influence, it was able to attract professional artist to illustrate the covers. TCR also proved to be a launching pad for aspiring comic book creators, many of whom published work in the fanzine as amateurs. This is a vintage issue of The Comic Reader fanzine, dated February 1977. Filled with fascinating insights into the world of superheroes, this issue features articles on Superman, Spider-Man, Batman and the Hulk. The fanzine also offers a unique glimpse into the Marvel (MCU), DC Universe and Gold Key universes. The softcover fanzine was published by Street Enterprises in the United States and is a must-have collectible for fans of superheroes and comics. This issue, numbered 140, is a valuable addition to any collection and is sure to be a treasured possession for years to come.I’ve been collecting super-hero items since the 1960’s. But I think it’s time to start reducing my private collection. I’ve enjoyed them for the past 60 years and now it’s time for others to enjoy them. Please see my other auctions, there may be something that interests you. Thank you.
