Growing up, it was seldom that I got to go by a Local Comics Shop, but I always had the grocery store. I remember the early "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures" comics, among others that would include: "Spider-man" titles. Most of my time I enjoyed the X-men cartoon with my brother, which gave interesting "voice overs" to characters that were fun, like Gambit! When I was able to get a comic subscription, I chose the series Wolverine from 1988, starting with issues in the late #70's! Wolverine had just lost his ADAMANTIUM, and he quickly became an underdog that has been my favorite comic character ever since. Nothing beat playing "The Wolverine" on the Nintendo Entertainment System, and it was fun seeing the tommy gun people pop out of jack in the boxes. My dad would watch me play and laugh every time it happened. He even gave the game a try! The first and among the last times he did! Memories.
Time spent on the hunt for books gives me excitement and a thrill. I have some comics that are from bin diving that are winners, regardless of certain "condition or other factors." This collection is ever growing in numbers, because there is so much out there to find, peruse, and enjoy. I learn of worthwhile issues every day. As a bonus there are some back cover pictures of prescreen passes to movies that I've attended before them being released to the public, that have also inspired purchases. It is all encompassing and a great joy, this hobby rules!
I won the "best forumite" award in 2018, and have strived to continue with those sentiments! Congratulations to the others before, same year as me, and those going forward toward common ground.
