I learned to read from comic books.

When I was a kid my brother and I loved comic books. They cost 10¢ at that time, during and right after WW II and into the early 1950s. We bought so many we put them in boxes in our bedroom closet. We traded comics with our friends. Name it, we had it. Superman, Batman, Captain Marvel, Green Hornet, Wonder Woman, Golden Arrow, Red Ryder, The Lone Ranger, Mickey Mouse, Popeye, and others.

The two local drug stores had magazine racks and that's where we bought our comic books. I remember a day in the early 1950s I was in the drug store perusing the comic books when I saw a new one. One I'd never seen before or heard of. Even the cover was different and intriguing. I picked it up and started turning pages. I'd never seen any comic book like it and I started laughing at every page. I bought it, took it home, laughed continuously as I read it, gave it to my brother and he laughed as hard as I did. Thereafter, every month, I made sure to buy a copy when it hit the magazine rack at the drug store, I have no idea how many I accumulated but bought them until I went to college.

That comic book was titled Mad Magazine. The first copy I bought was the first edition of Mag Magazine and over the years, I bought each monthly copy.

My brother went away to college and I followed two years later. Then we both graduated and did our Army time. While we were away from home, my mother and dad sold the house and moved to Little Rock, Ark. They bought a house. After about a year my mother did not care for the first house so they sold it and bought another in Little Rock. Because of our college and Army service, neither my brother nor I was at home during any of the moves. Too many things going on for us to be concerned with comic books.

One day when I was home after college and Army, I began thinking of all our old comics books, I asked my mother where the comic books boxes were? My mom replied, "Oh, those old things. When we moved, I couldn't see any sense in taking them with us so I tossed them in the trash."

"You what??!!"

My mom said, "I didn't think you'd want them. They'd been just taking up space for ten or twelve years, collecting dust . Besides, they were just a bunch of old comic books. "

Later I saw where comic book collectors were paying big bucks for many of those in my collection. That was the end of my comic book addiction. Never bought another one.

i remember a comic book called "Plop" by DC comics back in the 70s, very strange comic book......

Yea, I had a bunch of gun boxes up in the attic. My mom burned them thinking they were in the way. GGggggrrrr !

kwg

thanks for al the thoughts! I have a bunch of Uncle Scrooge, Donald Duck, pink panther, Tom and Jerry and Archie. Might just try and trade them off

Don't really where or how to sell them.

The only one i have is the one that tells the Pope's life story from years ago.

Several years ago, my wife put her old comics on ebay. One of them brought a bit over $900.

I've often wondered what my original first edition of Mad Magazine would be worth to a comic books collector? But alas, my mom tossed it and all the others when she and my dad moved.
