Welcome to the Letters Page, everybody! I'm going to start out a little different this month and promote my very first CD-ROM! The disc, which is available for the incredibly low price of just $10 shipped (U.S. orders), focuses on the Target & the Targeteers, a Pure Excitement Comics favorite!
The disc features 15 Target stories not previously reprinted on this site, scanned at a higher quality than those online here, as well as rescanned versions of the three previously-featured stories, for a total of 18 great tales! The stories included are from Target Comics vol. 3 no. 1, 3/12, 4/3, 4/10, 4/11, 5/3, 5/4, 6/1, 6/2, 7/1, 7/5, 7/7, 7/9, 8/1 and 8/6, as well as 4 Most Comics vol. 5 no. 1.
In order to read these stories, all you need is a web browser and a CD-ROM drive (one that doesn't have trouble reading homemade CD-ROMs), and it is recommended that your monitor be set at a resolution of at least 800x600. For detailed ordering information, e-mail me at williamnolan@yahoo.com.

Hope you enjoyed the latest issue of Pure Excitement Comics! Here is a letter I received following the last issue:

It was great seeing Sgt. Spook and Dynamic Man in PE 19. I first discovered these and other golden age comics in the old IW-Super reprints when I was a kid. I'm starting to get into Golden Age comics again big time, thanks to your site. I've also sent in a membership form to the Goldenagers discussion club.
Keep up the good work.

Fred Miller

Glad you liked the issue. Hope you and others can make a better use of the Goldenagers club than I ever did. It seems to have really taken off in the past few weeks, with a bunch of new members and a fantastic collection of links. I'm glad to hear my site has lead to your return to Golden Age collecting, I just hope it hasn't caused you to spend way too much on eBay, like I have been lately. (Just a lame plea, everyone, but if you see an auction with "bnolan" as the high bidder, have mercy -- it will probably end up reprinted here anyway!)

That's it for the letters from the last month. See you next month!
