This is a cool thread, I'd like to play. My name is Buddy, and my older brothers had stacks of comics in the '80s. At some point (I think it was his 4th or 5th grade), my brother 5 years older than me made a lewd and lascivious gesture (he...err...exposed himself) to a girl in his class. I can't remember if he was expelled or received a lengthy suspension. My mother then discovered that he had been reading my 3 oldest brothers' comics which included some Heavy Metal magazines. She was not pleased. To the fireplace all the comics went, and I am ashamed that I, at around 5, gleefully contributed to the inferno.
Years later, my brothers were still collecting mostly Marvel comics, and I discovered JRJR and Ann Nocenti's DD and Peter David and Dale Keown's Hulk among other great stories. I lost interest in collecting in my late teen years but still read as much as I could. In 2010, I picked up buying older back issues and have been hopelessly hooked.
My focus right now is select Marvel runs and Marvel and DC keys. I'm glad to be here as it is a great place to buy and sell funny books.
