FineCollector Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 How did he get turned on to Black Terror in the first place? No one that age appreciates GA without guidance, or an incredibly lucky find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't discussed but I just got that impression for some reason. He said he wants to set up at the next small local show in a few months, so obviously someone is helping with that at least.

The Black Terror's name and costume are theoretically cool enough to capture the imagination of a modern kid with an old soul. Add WWII to that mix, and I think it's not so impossible that he got there on his own. badback83 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 BTW, I have had great success with using Fantastic Four #48 as a gateway drug to collecting comics. I sold a copy cheap to a handful of semi-interested friends/aquaintances, and created 2 active collectors! Not a bad ratio, if you ask me.
