I spent a number of years working in various areas of comic retail, also, so I have way, way too many comics, now. I haven't collected, though, in about 8 years or so. They were running $3/piece, at the time which was way too much. It's actually too bad, because the comic industry isn't really about making comics, anymore. In effect, the comic books are just a marketing tool for the movies.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966405019276327514.post-85309854321385125792011-05-04T18:07:57.216-04:002011-05-04T18:07:57.216-04:00Rogue - Yes, comics not only teach life lessons, b...Rogue - Yes, comics not only teach life lessons, but school lessons as well.<br /><br />Alex - I had a pretty impressive comic collection when I was young too. I think I was raised by them.<br /><br />Andrew - Yes, I think Marvel comics were a gateway drug to all sorts of sci fi and fantasy. I encourage all kids to read them... although at a close to 5 dollars a piece they seem a bit high when compared to the 35 cents I paid when I first started. It's cheaper to get a netflix membership than buy a couple of comics.Rusty Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09887821877521181811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966405019276327514.post-52114657124185087922011-05-03T23:43:29.816-04:002011-05-03T23:43:29.816-04:00You know, Marvel comics had lots of great info in ...You know, Marvel comics had lots of great info in them. There were tons of things that, at the very least, I became interested in due to Marvel. So...
