i guess i stopped comic books about the same time that my step-monster threw away my collection while i was in drug rehab.
my favorite all-time character was simon williams, aka wonder man, with the Avengers for a little bit. i was heavy into reading them back when they cost .35 each. i had most all of the Avengers, X-men, Wolverine's 4 book mini-series, etc. check what they are worth online sometime. it'll make you sick. what i paid .35 for back then is worth 10,000 times that amount, in some cases, now. i've always secretly wanted to kill her, and her throwing those away while i was getting myself together really made me want to use again. her and my dad got divorced shortly thereafter, which made me chuckle inside - no, i had absolutely nothing to do with it.
