prashanthchengi suddenly changed his Facebook userpic to that of a little devil, red, with cute little horns, a forked tail, and a trident....and that brought my "comic-book" past rushing back to my mind

I grew up with just about all those comics. What memories you've brought back, Deepa!
And I always read the daily comics as well.

From the late 50's and early 60's the place to be
for all comic rags and meet their aficionados
were Easwari Old book shop/lending library in Lloyds Road..

Turn your memory pages and ...you will
see the owner squatting among stacks of
comics

Brings back wonderful childhood memories, especially the Classics Illustrated. Thanks for sharing, D.

Now I realise that all of us have the comics in common, too!
