    Romance or Be Scary, It's Only a Dime
  

*by A***G on Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2016*

America once had an insatiable lust for the ten-cent color comic book.  From modest beginnings before World War II, this highly competitive arm of the publishing industry swelled until hundreds of titles by dozens of publishers sold millions of copies monthly in the early 1950s.  All sorts of genres and sub-genres flourished, including romance, war, "weird menace" featuring sadistic villains, and sci-fi, but the biggest category was horror, accounting for fully a third of the total by 1953.  In this competitive and varied atmosphere, it took a bold (and sometimes lurid) cover to sell the "book."Ilex Press, which has made a specialty of mining World War II for retro camp and humor (previous card collections include WE CAN DO IT, with Rosie-the-Riveter type propadanda cards; and ARMY CAMP, with surprisingly homoerotic, towel-snapping soldiers), now has given us THE ART OF CLASSIC COMICS, 100 POSTCARDS FROM THE FABULOUS FIFTIES.  The title is a slight exaggeration (the actual time span is 1947 to 1963), but this is a wonderful collection all the same.  Titles such as WARFRONT, HEART THROBS, OPERATION PERIL, BAFFLING MYSTERIES, BADGE OF JUSTICE, and the highly admired and reviled CRIME DOES NOT PAY show the variety of genres available to any kid (or adult) with a few dimes in postwar America.  The cards measure about 4 by 5.5 inches (10 x 13.5 cm), the color printing is gloriously accurate and vivid and in retrospect, amazingly campy.  The message side is nicely matte and can take almost any type of pen.  My only complaint is a minor one, that the horror-comic covers, at about a third of total, are a little underrepresented; then again, if you were fearing an all TALES FROM THE CRYPT sort of collection, fear not.In the Fifties, this Americana dwindled almost as quickly as it had arisen.  A compendium of "experts" (some legitimate psychologists, others scare-mongers), frightened news stories and editorials, and concerned parents triggered Congressional investigations.  A new type of comics "Code" of self-censorship was instituted, and between 1954 and late 1955, the color-comic format of this type nearly went away, except for some romance, a few super-heroes, kid stuff and the ever-resilient ARCHIE.  For a reasonable amount of money you can give your friends and Postcrossing pals a taste of the good old/bad old days.  Given the colorful, sturdy box and ribbon, THE ART OF CLASSIC COMICS would make a great gift, too.

    Thrilled with this purchase!
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2018*

Frame worthy, excellent quality. The heavyweight glossy card stock is thick enough to mail worry-free. Love how each back has a little graphic where your stamp goes. Even if it gets covered up it’s still a cute touch. Comes in a gorgeous box that even has a little ribbon to help you get the cards out of the box. So pleased with this purchase! Well worth the price for the amount of quality postcards you are getting! I just got it in the mail today and couldn’t wait to post a photo review because more people need to see how great these are!

    Nifty Collection Of Vintage Images
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2016*

Nifty collection of vintage images. The storage box is sturdy and well made. The cards themselves are a delight. There is something for every taste, romance, science fiction, crime, and western. Every cover is reproduced in  a clear and crisp image. There is a little box on the back for postage if you were actually of a mind to mail these little treasures to your friends. I view my collection as sort of like "modern" baseball cards. Great to pull out of the box and pore over while imagining what the stories in the original comics were like. All that is missing is the time machine to drop you off at newsstands of another era.
