I've learned that if someone asks you a really stupid question and you reply by telling them what time it is, they'll leave you alone

I've always wanted to go to one of these Comic cons closer to home. I used to be an avid collector, but lost interest in the early 80s ended up selling my collection at a big loss, then I started collecting again when I saw what Jim Lee was doing with the X-men. They soon when to crap after the formation of Image and I stopped buying new books again, but I held onto what I was able to find this time around... about 500 books, mostly Marvel... nothing really worth more than Amazing Spider-man #300. The oldest would a fair copy of Uncanny X-men #94.



I often criticize the current state of the comic book industry online. They use retconning and alternate universe ideas way too often to work their ways out of unsolvable plots.

Yeah, many of the newer comic books have too much going on, too many characters, too many villains, too many sub-plots, too many 'behind-the-scenes' mind games to the point that it becomes a mish-mash and the whole thang becomes incoherent.



One of my favorite issues of all time, regardless of genre, brand or label, was Avengers #2 (1963):



http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/avengers/2-1.jpg">



It's about a phantom-like creature who comes from outer space, lands on earth, and scares the heebie-jeebies out of the earthling population by assuming their physical identities. It doesn't matter that the characters are dressed in superhero costumes. The plot is very similar to today's movies or recent TV episodes. A villain has the ability to transform itself into a human likeness such as in Terminator 2:

...so in this regard, the writers of the Avengers #2 story were quite advanced, and their ideas foreshadowed stories which would later appear to have borrowed (stole?) from them.

I had boxes full of classic comic books. I regret giving them away. I didn't save one single edition for myself.

...too bad.



Just out of idle curiousity, was it because of a girl/woman he knew in his Church?



And he wanted to please her by destroying everything he thought might turn her off?

Ohmygawd that's so sad when comics are burnt  :sad: There should be a law against that!  :rules:  My hubby and brother are both comic collectors.  Hubby has crates of them and my brother has several rare from Superman.

I would bet there were comics worth money and records worth a ton.

I had comics as kid, but they were not as important to me as they were to you city boys and girls. I liked riding atc's and shooting gophers better.
