Interesting. The way you write about them, it would seem as if you've been collecting since you were a kid.

I haven't bought a comic book since about the early 2000s, although I used to pick up Wizard magazines for several years after that because the writing and humor was superb, and if you wanted to know prices, it was thee go-to source; they were a huge influence. Not sure what the industry-equivalent would be today. The collecting aspect was part of the fun.

Spoiler for Old-School Receipt:
Briefed through my old boxes and found this relic. 20 free comics with an order over a certain amount (don't remember). This was my last order through them, and this order had a ton of comics that were either back ordered or they had to send me a refund for because they didn't have them.

Is digital the way the industry is headed?
