Do we have any avid comic book collectors on this board? If so, speak up.
I use to but not much anymore.
They were at my parents but that was 35 years ago. I need to go and see what happened to them.
Been reading, collecting comics since im 10 reading was key and the stories back then had me waiting at the corner store for the next issues. Great times. But by far the most value i ever had was the Pokemon cards i had ( un opened ) charzad etc from the early 90s sold them on ebay a few years back crazy return but now i look lol i gave away.I never collected comics, but I did collect the original vintage Star Wars toys from the 70s and 80s. The first 3 films as they were coming out in theaters. I've got a bunch, including some rares.I kept the boxes too.
I remember i got the how to draw comic s the marvel way back then 80s went to John Bucema art class it was diff back then stories were awesome only a few really good artists. now the art is insane anyone remember MAD Magazine? great parody just a bit more matureI used to in the mid 80s o guess.Still got most of them in the basement. My father in law has a box full of comic books that I took a look at a couple years ago and he had some of the very first marvel comics ..the first hulk when he looked like a grey Frankenstein guy.also all the first bunch of fantastic four ...no joke! He has them in plastic bags thrown in a big box.i told him he could probably sell those and make a whole lot of money and he just shrugged and said he wasn't planning on getting rid of them. He is kind of a hoarder ,especially with things from his childhood.
