DAMN...Your mom...burned..all of your comics? did she do it in a ceremonial kind of way and make you watch and lit the comics on fire  or was it already done and you were told about it after? I have to say....thats pretty out there. I mean, when I screwed up I recall not being able to stay up late or go out with my friends I dont ever remember my parents ever destroying anything. is it possible she just told you she did and hid them away? because damn thats some cold juju if you ask me.

Back then they were just comic book, not worth the twelve cents we paid for them. They were a pile of ashes in the incinerator in the back yard when I got home from school.

My brother and I shared a room, it was really messy. In my defense, both my parents where fairly messy too, Mom much less than Dad. My parents were awesome, I could not have asked for a better home to be born in.

I also do not wish to dicuss the multitude of amazing items I've let slip through my hands, little realizing that decades later they would be very valuable. We were all surrounded by treasures back then but in context it was just stuff.

So it goes, we cannot predict the future. In relation to some of the other items, the comics were small potatoes.

I was reading Marvel comics when I was a kid, had X-men 1-10 until Mom got pissed at our messy room and burned all of our comic books. Wah!!!!

Stan Lee changed our ideas of what a superhero/heroine was forever, he brought out a human element that seemed missing in the DC comics of the day.

       R I P Stan Lee, a very creative mind, thanks for the entertainment.

Yikes!!!! An epidemic!!!! Wah!!!! I've long since forgiven my Mom (RIP), at that point in time they were just comic books.

Only now are we able to view in a different perspective.
