Mom threw out my Marvel Comic Books!

The Fantastic Four #1 (November 1961). Cover art by Jack Kirby (penciler) and unconfirmed inker.

Aah… those days of youth, watching for the delivery truck to bring the latest comics to the grocery
store just across the street!

I had three dimes so I had to choose between Flash, Green Lantern, The Fantastic Four and/or Thor and Dr. Strange.

Reading about these superheroes put a child into a different world never to be known as an adult.

Now that the news of Disney buying Marvel Comics, a lot of good memories come rushing back. Not only of the comics themselves, but of grandparents, childhood friends, and school buddies long since put into the past.

Why Mom did you throw out all those comic books?
