This thing is awesome! BL, I hope you find the missing magazines soon- I’ve asked my Grandpa, Dad, and looked in my attic but can’t find any.
terrific. really cool
where does the first pee wee comic start
The first Pee Wee Harris comic appeared in the September 1952 issues.
But, you’ll also find short stories about him, starting in April 1920.
Where is May 1911?
For some reason, Boys’ Life was not published in May 1911.
why can’t you downlond the mags
PLEASE HELP! Boys’ Life needs to find the October 1911 and January 1912 issues to complete its archives. Search your attics, dig through those old boxes. Surely, somebody must have a copy of these missing issues!
A Scout uses the resources he has and makes due with them. Take whats given to you and make it work and stop complaining about what you do not have. After all this is the Boys’ Life Wayback Machine.
2009, 2010 is not way back
true 2009 and 2010 aren’t wayback but 2011 is totally not wayback,because we are still in it.
ok, i can get not having 2011, but why not up to 2010?
interresting, how come there aren’t any 2009 and 2010 and 2011s?
We still have a few issues missing, but hopefully they’ll be added soon. Watch for 2009 in the next few weeks.
AWESOME!
