Memory Lane

This article made me start thinking about old comic books and cartoons I used to read as a boy. First there were the typical superhero comics. My favourites included Spiderman, Batman, and Iron Man. In my early teen years I remember hurrying to get the latest MAD magazine from the stands. What about CRACKED magazine? Remember that?

I wonder if these comics are as big today as they seemed to have been when I was young. I know there is a big collector's market for old comic books. New comics are out there and MAD and CRACKED are both still in publication. Maybe I'll take a look at the local magazine shop and see if I can find anything interesting. It seems to me that my son is at just the right age (9) to get turned on to comics.
