You may not be surprised to learn that most people in the comic business grew up reading comic books. However, you might be interested in knowing what they were reading. Here’s a look at “Famous Fanmail”!
I just posted a Don McGregor letter weeks ago – and here’s another one! This one was published in Fantastic Four #48 (cover date – March 1966) – the first appearances of the Watcher, Galactus and Silver Surfer! In the letter he explains that he’ll soon be leaving for the service … but have no fear! … for, his fiancee will be buying the newest issue of the Fantastic Four for him, each month. What a gal! And, nice guys that they are, Marvel offered him a free subscription to the FF while he was in the service. I wonder how many similar letters this kind act spurred.
