A rare thing just happened in my store : a child bought his first - ever amusing Christian Bible from us . His parent were thrill and took a picture of him with his young comics , which we posted on our Facebook varlet . I was thrilled ; one of the goal atRodman Comicsis to get new multitude into comic Holy Writ . tiddler are impressionable , and the things they do in their youth can get out a long-lived wallop . I have some copy of comics I read as a child grade , though they were well - read . Some of the graded comics are displayed on crustal plate holders , and masses who visit sometimes think they are worth money , but they are not ; they are just reminders of comics from my past .
Marvel Two In Oneissue 56 from 1979 left me want more escapade of the Thing , the Grapplers , and Project Pegasus . Marvel ’s first issue of Rom Spaceknight from 1979 blow me out as a child . The first matter I ever recollect pull ahead was an art contest at schooling where I redrew this page , which was the introduction to Rom .
Rom: Spaceknight #1 Comic From 1979
I did own the Rom action at law figure at the time , though that was the whole line , one action figure , and that was it . The comics made Rom cool with his foes , the Dire Wraiths , and his fellow spaceknights . It appeared like Rom was disintegrating what wait to be normal humans but were shape - changing Dire Wraiths , leaving what count like their burn corpse on the street in the issue . later on , it was revealed that Rom was just sending them to the other dimension , Limbo . It sure appear like Rom was blasting them to death . It might have been a bit much for a kid . Eh , depend how I turn out .

As a kid , this subject was so nerveless ; Jim Aparo did the natural covering , and this cover graphics I would deal my eldest for it if I had any tyke . Catman was the story ’s scoundrel and made me a fan of his . As a child reread this issue , no matter how many multiplication I had reread the comic , it would always improve a tough day . Even now , it somehow gives me a electropositive vibration .
Justice League of America #183 From 1980
For long time , this was the only part of the story electric arc I read as I could not get the other issues . This was from before I even knew comic stores be . The cyberspace was many years away . I recollect who I was with and where I buy this comic from . I was with my pop and some champion of his at a Ben Franklin drug store . I know . I was surprised my pa grease one’s palms a comic book for me . Fifty cents was a much bigger deal then . In 1980 , a one - day slate to Disneyland was $ 8.00 . parent would also tell their nestling " no " more often , back in the 80s . Batman undertake Orion , who just got done punch Firestorm and Superman , was mad . I had no idea who the New Gods or Justice Society of America were , yet somehow , the tale was epic and stays in my judgement even now . Superman showing how powerful he was by just flicking his finger to knock someone out was way cool to this Thomas Kid .
This issuing remind me of my dad and his friends , who had kids who were quondam than me , though I still thought of them as friends . I call up there was a divorcement between his two Friend , and then , sadly , that was the end of my reckon them . My Fatherhood passed by ; I like I had asked him whatever bump to them . I knew where they lived ; I remember their faces from all those old age ago , though I do not remember their names , just the times we went swimming together and had a lot of fun . I even recall some of the discussions we had . This issue is an linchpin to my past times as a nipper .
Star Wars #45 From 1981
The Star Wars movie captivated imaginations and became a very big thing . I think of my parent telling me that there were people get dressed up as Stormtroopers at the movie field of operations when they take me to it . I call up the Superman motion-picture show much well , as it came out a year later on . But to learn there were Star Wars comics ? That was heaven to this youngster . I think Luke was pretty cool in this upshot . I also loved G.I. Joe , and Larry Hama had a manus in make this cover , something I had no thought about at the time . If I was golden enough for the grocery store to have a Star Wars comic in the magazine single-foot to read while wait for my mom to grocery shop , then life story was good — to be a kid again .
