> Hello all,
> I am Spider-Boy (a.k.a Joseph Charneskie) and even though I've posted some stuff here I decided formal greatings were in order. If you don't want to know me don't read this, but if wake up with a horse head in your bed don't blame me.
> I am a freind of both Darien and his new girlfreind Amber, Darien even introduced me to rink works.
> As you can tell by my cyber-name I read comic books. Any one who can correctly say were I got the name Spider-Boy from will win my respect (I'm in college I can't afford good prizes)
> Despite what the Directors Test says I'm eagerly anticipating the X-Men movie currently filming. With Patrick Stweart as Xavier it can't go wrong.
> I also am reading the last book in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy for the first time. I wish I had read these books sooner.
> My favortie living author is Orsen Scott Card, the Ender books are great as are the Alvin Maker series.
> I am also a fan of Star Trek, MST3K, Star Wars, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Monty Python, Weird Al, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, X-Files, and most other sci-fi/fantsy stuff.
> I hope to post more stuff here in the future.
> I apologize for any misspelling, It's a curse I have grown to live with.

We could start a club for poor spellers. Most of the people who post on RinkWorks are former spelling bee champs, but a few of us, including me, are plagued and cursed. Being a poor speller is particularly embarrassing to me because I have taught everything from English, science, and reading, to driver ed, adult basic education, and Apple IIe. It is an old American custom to expect teachers to be good spellers and masters of arithmetic. (In the case of mathmatics, again, the joke is on me.)

Now about those comic books. I read a few million of them in my youth and even now, I have a small stack of them that I have had for a long time. How do you go about finding out which ones are worth a bundle? I realize that if you only read the current crop, you may not know anything about vintage comics, but hey, I gotta ask.

I used to read "Archie," "Mutt and Jeff," "Dick Tracy," "Plastic man," "Captain Marvel," and "The Katchenjammer Kids" Have you ever heard of those?
I also went through a Mad Magazine phase.
