Last month we ran the following story about Bill Cogswell reading Whiz Comics in 1949. A friendly reader of ComicsDC, Brian C. (who lives nowhere around here and whom I'm only slightly acquainted with) actually sent a copy of the comic to me for Bill. Here's Bill enjoying it today for Christmas in 2015.
Here's the original post:
My friend and neighbor Bill Cogswell used to collect comics back in the day. When his sister Ellen passed away recently,
I saw this picture of them. It's Christmas 1949 and Bill appears to be
reading Whiz Comics #119 (March 1950 cover date)* judging from the Grand Comics Database (which provided the image). Captain Marvel was the main feature.
Following the old familiar story, Bill's mother threw away his comic books when they moved within Arlington.
*comics came out months before their cover date to fool the newsstands into keeping them on display longer.
