Unbeknown to him,she secretly was
coveting his comic books.Said she hated them,
despised them...they were his other woman.
All part of her plan to make him buy more..More..MORE!!
just to show that it was his money,his choice,HIS hobby.
So he bought and bought and bough broke,charged up the
charge cards until they were electric like Electro,stubborn like
a Rhino he paid those off and bought more,showing her each one,
pushing the limits,he could do anything,he was Supersnipe,the boy
with the most comics in the world....purchased a beauty of
a Church copy from Gentleman Z...just to show her...they were his.
The Charltons piled up,a few Timelys made timely appearances....
he even got books just for her,DC romance,1950's Archies.Anything
with a Werewolf,yet she kept her cool.Cool like the Rawhide Kid at a
showdown,like Sgt Rock in the thick of it.Like Peter Parker,Spectacular
Spiderman,cracking jokes whilst in battle with the Sinister Six.
He offered his Vampirella 1 to 85 collection for her to read.
Still,she would not love his comics.
Then the day came.He had secretly been saving for a copy of ASM
1 in fine to veryfine shape,and got one from one of the many fine
cool and great members of his "comicbookfacebook" as she called it.Half
of guide.He was jubilant.She was blase.So off to work went the porcupine
quills droopy,eyes moist.
Then he hurried home after his shift,eff that,he has a great comic to
celebrate,and boy is he(carefully) gonna read it.
He rushes up the creaky Victorian stairs to his Chinatown flat.
Sweating with excitement he heads directly to his comic book room.
The jaw drops.
There are only two comic books in sight.
The Archie marriage issue he bought her,and his low grade
TTA 48.She took the 9.6.
Scribbled across a Gerber fullback:
Thanks for the great collection sucker,I am eloping with 1million comix!!!
Shudder,what a horrible nightmare.....
