Real copy of spiderman 1 with the 12 cents price on it. I did post this last year but some might have not seen it.

Superman 9

 

I just want to take a moment and note how this young man is dressed.  He's wearing dark shorts with weird striped socks and dark shoes, accentuating his pale white legs.  Additionally, he's wearing a long sleeve shirt with some sort of collar to match those shorts.  And his haircut is a little weird!

This is the original comic book geek.  His social and fashion deficiencies would lay down the tracks for all the rest of us to follow, leading to years of social exile and poor treatment by all the other kids that were into sports and girls instead.  I don't know whether to celebrate him or condemn him but either way, there he is.

Am I only one that finds the man in the picture slightly unsettling?  Like you somehow caught a snapshot of the devil or something?  

Looks like he's leaving the back room where the "special" periodicals were displayed.

When you look at this picture, it shows how hard it was to find nice copies even when the books were new. I know that you were lucky to get a VG/F copy at most of the 7-11's and drug stores where I bought comics.

We used to go up to our newstand the day the comics were delivered and pick our issues from the stack in the back before they hit the rack!

I got a sweet deal when I was a kid. We bought most of our comics from a small mom and pop drugstore. I rode my bike past it each day on my bike to and from school. No metal racks or spinners. Comics were either displayed in wooden racks with slots or laid flat in stacks on the bottom.

I was a respectful kid and often cleaned up the mess other kids had made. The owner noticed and was a nice old guy. He offered me a deal. If I would stop buy after school and unpack and rack the comics each week, I could pick 5 of them as payment. So I had first pick and rarely missed an issue from that time on.

You wouldn't believe the comics I got to rack for him...

Oh, and he counted MAD Magazine as one book even though it was twice the cost of a regular comic.
