Suck it up, wusses. Everybody's Mom threw out their comics.
Actually, not quite everybody! My sister put all my comics into two cardboard boxes and stuck them in our basement. Then, unbelievably, the basement got broken into and my precious comics, along with some worthless bric-a-brac, were stolen.
I've often wondered what became of them. Did the burglars read them, and thereby learn the error of their ways? Did they sell them to buy drugs, thereby turning years of hard-earned pocket money into a quick fix?
My favourite line from the Spider-Man 2 film: Peter Parker returns to Aunt May's to find she is moving out, and asks in concern: "
What did you do with my old comic books?"
