My Comic Book Store

I had my own comic store by the era of 7 years. Those were being the days before tv and the many other potential distractions that surround us today. My comic book store consisted of more than 200 comics, that i read and again go through and then when I got enough of re-reads I would get on my bicycle as well as visit friends to complete a comic swap. We were holding exciting times regarding we loved our few comic book characters and when the next version was at the news store we would get their waiting to purchase them as they arrived.
There was of course Monster and his amazing abilities and he had Xray eye sight which made them seem almost mystical and add to that his or her ability to fly and also lift trains along with intercept even plane in flight had myself locked in as a believer and also follower However I believed he lost a little class when Lois Road arrived on the scene.
Superman seemed to be the start of the leading man era of comic strips for me and then emerged Captain Marvel and he was great then again Captain Marvel Freshman got into the behave and his hero reputation was reduced around my seven-year-old eyes. Best of all though was the Phantom, 'the ghosting who walks',with his loyal wolf dog Devil who was his friend in battles. But I felt let down when the Phantom's girlfriend came out. Why would an effective hero like the Phantom desire a girlfriend I asked myself personally?
There were so many of most of these wonderful adventure amusing magazines in those days along with that year associated with my childhood 1948 shiny things cost about sixpence (five mere cents). Today I believe some sort of phantom comic, in good shape, can be sold for over $6000! If only I had known my own 200 comic books which cost less than $20 would certainly now fetch regarding $600000. I could have upon the market a lot earlier than I did so.
Other comics around my Comic Book Store were Mandrake and the Disney comic strips of the day and I cherished them too. Mandrake the magician with his faithful partner Lothar could do anything with some sort of wave of their hand however this individual fell from grace a little with as they too had a partner called Nardia. However regardless of whether my heroes been unsuccessful somewhat by having a girl in their team I acquired used to it as well as kept buying all of them and reading all of them and trading using friends and eventually improved my mind completely about girls when I achieved the age of 14.
I actually miss that simple years where the comics were not filled with extreme physical violence and graphic intercourse. They were simply great adventures with a highly effective hero fighting unpleasant and winning. My spouse and i loved that concerning my comic book store and maybe today's children are missing something with all the iPods and tele and sensational special effect movies which usually capture their curiosity where everything is imagined for them. With the comics you had to imagine this voice and create the experience in your mind from the images.
But this is an some guy talking and some might imagine it's an old grump speaking but I loved our childhood and my personal comic book store and after this, in my latter years, that era of the comic holds such wonderful memories of an easy and safer world protected by the great comic heroes.
