Kids can't really afford to go hogwild collecting comics anymore. It was a lot easier back when the cover price was $.75 an issue. What are they now, $4.95?

My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!

I remember when they were 15 cents.
I have some of those that my grandma gave me. :Originally Posted by westofyou

I no longer buy comics, but I can check out the graphic novels at the library.

I woulda thought it would have made more sense for Catwoman to be a lesbian. I mean she already likes the p........

Before I lost all mine in the fire, my kids loved to read them.
My daughter loved Archie, and my 10 yr old found out that Hulk, Spiderman, and Batman existed long before he discovered them.

As for Batwoman being a lesbian, I could care less. It's not Barbara Gordon, they aren't outing Batgirl. It's Earth II's Kathy Kane, who no one gives a rat's behind about anyway.

Mad Magazine was 35, I think
Archie was the bomb.

The GL I remember, and was raised on, was this one though (test pilot Hal Jordan).
