It seems remarkable to me at this later date that I bought (or was bought) only two comics between subscription issues of FLASH arriving, but that appears to be the case. I can only guess so many years later that my attention must have been at least somewhat diverted by the other elements of youth … Continue reading BHOC: FLASH #234
The mailman brought me another folded-in-half issue of THE FLASH, which was always a fun and unexpected surprise, as I wasn’t yet conscious of how often a new issue would be appearing (and this was with most DC books listing the approximate publication date of the next issue on their final page.) Despite featuring the … Continue reading BHOC: FLASH #233
I owned two copies of this issue of THE FLASH, because I am an idiot. I came across the first one at the 7-11 as usual. At this point, I had a subscription to FLASH and I knew it worked–I had received two issues previous to this. But still I was worried–maybe I wouldn’t get … Continue reading BHOC: FLASH #232
The mailman brought me another subscription copy of THE FLASH, folded in half as was the style of the era. This was always an exciting moment, because it was unexpected. I suppose I could have worked out approximately when a new issue would be showing up, but I somehow never bothered. This is the story … Continue reading BHOC: FLASH #231

It was a red-letter day when my first subscription copy of THE FLASH arrived in my mailbox. But it was marred slightly by the fact that, in these primitive days, subscription copies were mailed out folded in half and wrapped in a simple outer covering of rough paper. So my copies of FLASH from this … Continue reading BHOC: FLASH #230
BRAVE AND THE BOLD wasn’t really my book of choice, so I’m guessing that it was the 100-Page format that made the difference in this case. Either way, this got picked up at the 7-11 (by this point, the little post-Church candy store had stopped stocking comics–I had gotten in right at the very end.) … Continue reading BHOC: BRAVE AND THE BOLD #115
This FLASH 100-Page Spectacular gave me a dilemma when I found it at the 7-11. A month before, I had sent in money for a subscription to FLASH. The offer had said wait 6-8 weeks, though, and it had been only four. But by that same token, I got comics so infrequently, if I wound … Continue reading BHOC: FLASH #229
I can remember the rush of adrenaline when I came across it. We were in a Waldbaum’s grocery store, not the one we typically went to, and they carried a small selection of DC’s 3-bag “Super-Pac” comics. The books in those bags were always several months old (to avoid competing with day-and-date distributors, I would think). … Continue reading BHOC: FLASH #225
