Oh yes. I read the super heros, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Superman, Spider-Man, Bat Man, Archie, Richie Rich, and more. I liked everything with a happy ending. My parents encouraged me to read, and brought home books from the library every week. Every horse book you could imagine. I was also allowed comic books as a treat. My DF thought it would help me become a good reader if I read a lot - and it did. My DF was not a good reader in the early grades, however he became interested in reading from comics and improved. He eventually obtained a Masters Degree in Education.

Yep.  Ten cents a book.  I would get a dollar allowence and get 10 comic books.

No.  But, I had an uncle who was a comic book collector.  He had boxes and boxes of them ... and no one was allowed to touch them.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that he still had them!  

[Mama Mia]

OMG! yes, they were, and my friends and I would trade back and forth. Those were the days.

@qualitygal. That s sooo spooky! Out of the blue, yesterday I remembered them and how they gave me such pleasure. My world was caving in then and they gave me an escape! MEMORIES, especially when they are good! 

[chihuahuamom]

Not comic books but definitely movie magazines.  I just wish I had kept some.  They are probably a collector's item.

@dex@sidsmom  LOL

I remember a magazine with a vinyl record-maybe a 45rpm?  There may have been several others but this one I think had him burping.  Oh crikey!
