The Premise

It's my 42nd year on this planet, roughly the midpoint of my life, and I thought I'd commemorate such a milestone with a year of ongoing chronicles. Your comments and "co-authoring" (adding your shared experience to any group events) are welcome and encouraged!

Contraction

I've been collecting comics since I was ten years old. From time to time I sell off a small pile of them to either pay a bill, or trade some of them in for newer comics. I think now is a great time to "weed out the unfit", so to speak, and make their footprint in my living space a great deal smaller. I have around twenty longboxes (which hold several hundred comics each) and ten (or so) half-boxes, and a lot of them are full of issues I'll probably never read again.

I am compiling several lists: "Keepers", "Kids" (to be distributed between my ten nieces & nephews), and "Revenue" (the ones I no longer wish to keep, and will attempt to make some money off of them by selling them).

KEEPERS (in no particular order):
  • Legion of Super-Heroes (original team and 'retroboot')
  • Nightwing
  • JLA
  • JSA
  • Starman (Jack Knight)
  • Avengers
  • West Coast Avengers
  • New Mutants
  • Conan
  • Astro City
  • What If?/Elseworlds (and other 'alternate universe' titles)
  • Savage Dragon
  • Green Lantern
  • Hawkman
  • Aquaman
I will amend this list from time to time, and share which titles wound up going to the kids.
