The Mighty World Of Comics ...

The Mighty World Of Comics ...
A bit of fun created for this week's Sunday Challenge, where the theme was comics ... those paper-based publications that transported children (and some adults) into imaginary worlds where anything was possible and all long before game consoles came along.

What you could shoot for this week's challenge and the style of presentation was pretty wide open ... pretty much anything was acceptable as long as it had something to do with comics or was presented in a comic style.

Having been a great reader, collector and hoarder of comics growing up I decided to create an spherical collage featuring many of the titles I grew up with. The majority of them are from the Sixties and Seventies although there are a couple from the Eighties.

The individual covers you can see within the sphere are all comics from my own collection. Each was photographed individually a while back when I was thinking of maybe selling them to raise some cash, then over the last few days they were brought together in a random fashion, before being turned into the sphere you see here.

So, hit z to view large and see how many you remember?

This is a great collection of comics. We have some comics left from the 70s and 80s as well and they are regularly read by the grandchildren, so the comics are no longer in very good condition.

Sadly no grandchildren here to share them with Harriet ... no idea why I keep them, just nostalgia I guess! :)

Wonderful collection and great bit of nostalgia. Collections are interesting and worth keeping if they don't take up too much space. Some like these are memories

autofantasia club has replied to Jan
You're right they do hold some fond memories, but I do admit to finding it difficult to part with pretty much anything. I'm sure if I lived alone I'd be one of those people you read about with piles of old comics and newspapers threatening to engulf them! ;)

Ah now we know where all of those old comic books ended up ... together again on the long lost planet of KABOOM. Great work here Paul. :)

This is a brilliant piece of work Paul, but I'm not surprised. :) I remember reading the Spiderman comic books, but tended more towards "The Archies" "Sad Sack" and "Little Lulu" and of course all the "Peanuts" I could read. There's nothing like settling down with a pile of such fun reading.

Glad you like it and thanks for the fave too. I did try adding some comic text from PicMonkey, but felt it detracted somewhat from the sphere so went with it as originally conceived! :)
