I'm in a nostalgic mood, so i will relate my story about this particular comic.

 

When I was a kid back in the 70's, I was a huge X-Men fan. Marvel had stopped putting out the X-Men books however, so I was stuck with having to read the old issues. Then Giant Size X-Men came out and I was so excited and of course bought it immediately at the candy store on the corner.

 

But it wasn't until X-Men #94 came out that I really was in heaven as it meant that the X-Men title was now back in publication. When I went to the candy store to buy it, there was a man there taking all the issues off the rack along with a lot of other titles. I asked him if he could please let me have one copy as it was my favorite comic and after much pleading, he let me have one.

 

After I paid, I went outside and he was tearing up all the comics he bought and was throwing them in the trash. He said this junk shouldn't be read by children.

 

True story.

 

That’s an incredible story – actually it borders in the realm of absurdity… :D

Was the man the store owner or some adult which bought the books to get rid of them?

Whoa. That's crazy. Can't believe he gave you one.

 

Yes...he was mumbling to himself as he was grabbing all the comics so I had a feeling he might be a little "off". But I really wanted the comic so I had to go ask him.

 

I just couldn't believe he was ripping up all those #94s...what a waste.

I think he was just a little crazy.

 

I have another story about the #94, but I will save that for another day.
