Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In 2019, I was going to turn fifty and had my midlife crisis by wallowing in the comic books I loved as a kid.I started buying comic books again. Not new comics. Hell no. I was keyed into old comics.The shit I read when I was a kid. When I was a teenager in the 1980s, I spent all my money on comic books. I would go to the local shop on Saturdays and buy a large wedge of books and spend the next week reading them all. I loved all of them, but would they all stand up That's when I had the notion. II would figure out all the comics I read for one month when I was fifteen, read them again and write about them.I picked the comics published in July of 1985. No reason. I just picked it.

This was something from the before time and it was not part of my thoughts at all. A few months ago, I recalled I wrote this and decided to see what I could do with it. I had written a very long introduction and several lengthy side essays. I cut all that and just kept the parts where I went through the old comics.It is a love letter to being a kid who was hyper focused on one thing. It is also a chance to think about how we change. How we stay the same. What we remember and what we were wise to forget.I am happy to share this with you. I am now 55 and still read old comics. Not as quickly as I used to. The writing in comics and my old eyes are in conflict. Ah well. I still dig it.…
