Links

Here's a few of my favorite links for those of you who share my interests.

Comic Books: Comic book fans are among some of the most prolific site designers out there. There are far too many sites to mention, most of them with great content and stunning images. I've tried to include a few of the most useful and basic sites out there as a starting point. Be sure to check out the more extensive links on these pages.

• The Silver Age Marvel Comics Cover Index- A great site with beautiful scans of silver-age Marvel covers, along with some great critiques.
• The Grand Comic Book Database- Got a question about a comic? When was it published? Who was the inker? What was the storyline? Well, here's your best chance to get the answer. From Golden Age to Bronze, American to Italian. Highly recommended.
• Comic Book Resources-Great for new comic news, as well as one of the most extensive links pages.
• The History of the Superhero Comic Books- A nice summary of the history of superhero comics, for the beginning and advanced collector alike. Great scans.
• Flying Donut Trading Company-This site belongs to my friend Dan, who always manages to find some great books and collections, especially hard-to-find 1970's romance books.

Cartoon Glasses

• Collectors Glass News-A great site and a great newsletter. If you collect promotional glasses, this is the place to go to learn about new releases as well as rare glasses, including scarce 1930's dairy glasses, prototypes, and samples. Great auctions with reliable descriptions.
• Dick Ladd's Glass site- A great site featuring many hard-to-find classic Disney glasses from the 1930's.
• The Glass Junkie-Another collector's site featuring some great glasses.
• Brian Callahan-Brian's site always has extensive information on the Promotional Glass Collectors Association (PGCA) meetings as well as his own want list.
• Les Verres-Just in case you thought obsessive collecting of cartoon glasses was limited to the U.S. Frederic's site is great and lists variations of French mustard jars in detail. Well worth looking at, even if you don't speak any French.
• The Looney Tunes Collector-A great site which attempts the impossible-inventory all merhcandise ever licensed to feature the great Looney Tunes characters. The site has a page listing promotional glasses.
