You got me thinking about comic books. Batman, Superman and the Green Lantern are at least 50 years old. Spider-Man is a Johnny-come-lately. I have a Spider-Man comic book from August 1967. (number 51, 12 cents) I think he first appeared about 1962 or 1963.

I also have a Flash from about the same era. Are you familiar with that one? I don't really collect these things. They were in my antique booth which I am closing up for the winter and now they are cluttering up the den.

I started reading comics about 1941. We traded them all over the neighborhood until they were worn out. (no TV then!) I wish I'd kept about 10% of them. I'd have thousands!
