I'm an old fart -- closer to 60 than 50. Married. Two kids, daughter grown & married, & son in mid teens.
I work with computer apps / development. Heroes is my favorite TV show. I'm a cat person -- have 4 cats. But can tolerate SOME dogs (<grin>) -- we have 2, one a big fat lazy hound (my kind of dog) & the other a chihuahua. Also have chickens -- pets with eggs as a bonus, not for meat.
I've been reading comics since around 1958 & collected DC comics etc. thru the Silver Age. I read most comics & varieties of comics during the 1950s & 1960s.
I bought sold & traded comics at local conventions during the 1970s & early 1980s.
Sold most of my collection in 1980s -- & have regretted selling 'em ever since.
I USED to have many Police Comics, Smash Comics, & Crack Comics (mostly Capt. Triumph issues, many drawn by Crandall), Young Allies #1, Batman #16 & other early Batman, various S&S Shadow Comics, early Wonderworld with Flame by Lou Fine, issues of Green Lama, various Ace & Standard, etc. etc. etc.
I STILL HAVE about half of the Dell Tarzans, all the Dell John Carter of Mars (am I allowed to upload here?), all the Charlton Space Adventures with original Captain Atom stories, all the Manning Magnus Robot Fighter, various 1950s westerns (some Dell Western Roundup, DC Dale Evans, a few early Dell Gene Autry, a Charlton Tex Ritter & a Lash LaRue), etc.
I also have some old fiche, but probably all of 'em are DCs & Timelys. I don't have a reader anymore -- I'll gladly trade the fiches for whatever.
I also still have a bunch of 1960s fanzines & a couple maybe earlier ones.
I also have an accumulation of comic book and comic strip reprint books....
