    The dramatic tension of this story is beyond belief! What unpredictable, emotional turns will it take? What shocking revelations will come to light? Let’s watch how Skippy handles the nail-biting drama!

    I collected comics when I was a kid. Mom threw them out when I was at camp.

    Saturday: we conclude this arc with a single panel in which Chester Hagglemore looks down at the artists and writers in his AtomiK KomiX “bullpen,” all laboring away on the next batch of first-issue covers. He smiles and thinks to himself, “telling that reporter about Batton Thomas was the second best thing I ever did around here.” The first, of course, was telling Mopey Pete that Montoni’s was for sale.

    Trouble is “Batton,” the comics may have “loved you back.” But there are times your audience didn’t love you as well.

    Reaching completion to a particularly well-drawn panel of Supergirl in her blue miniskirt isn’t really having comics “love you back,” Tom.

    I had the reverse of that with my love of science fiction. I came to thinking science fiction didn’t love me back. Not rational, of course, but much the way I felt about science fiction after trying to write it for decades.

    I’ve loved comics since I was 6 or 7 years old. Always had a battle with my Mom over my collection, but at least she never went behind my back and got rid of them. She would insist that I trade comics with the neighborhood kids so she didn’t have to buy so many, but they were mine. The first time, as an adult, that I sold one comic at a convention for $90, she quit nagging altogether. :) There was value in my comics and the cash sealed the argument. When I was still living at home, I told her if anything happened to me, to not toss the comics, but rather call a local comic shop or two and let them make her an offer. Not a problem anymore. Mom and Dad are both long gone and the comics still remain with me. Now it’s up to Sis to outlive me and sell them to pay for her grandkid’s college education.
