Damn! I remember everything! I remember everything as if it happenned only yesterday! I was barely 12 and I once pay 75 cents for a comic book from DC... LOL I was baffled when I read the price tag for a similar comic book... on today's world... $2.99 Wow! I know, inflation and everything else... plus the years thank-u-very-much... but it is appaling! And kids still buy them as I did years ago... I remember I would spend my whole allowance on comic books... $10 box. In today's world such a feat would be an expense of $30 to $50 box, if you buy wisely. And the down part is that the art may be better, but the storylines are repetitive and dull... Whatever happenned to feeding the imagination? Oh, I forget, today's society is not about imagination but about instant visual gratification. Excuse my ignorant remark...
Marvel is a complete recycling of old storylines... DC Comics offers a better menu, some old, some new... The Vertigo line has some little delights, but it was a BIG mistake to finish off The Sandman. Between The sandman, Black Orchid, Swamp Thing and Detective Comics, plus the ocational appearances of the Demon, that was a delight...
The good old times... And I am not that old, mind ye, punks! Only 32 and counting. Ugh!
