Marvel superheroes!

When I was young, collecting Marvel comics was an obsession to me. Each month I would head for Marshall Rd where a stall is displaying all the titles. At that time a copy cost about 35 cents butl now a copy would cost as much as five dollars each.emoticon

I am fascinated with all the characters portrayed in the comics books. My favourites are Daredevil, Thor, The Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer, Black Panther, Nick Fury agent of Shield and the X-men. I was just a boy then and without fail i would collect all the different titles. The colors and excitement presented in the comics was a constant delight to me.emoticon

I would go down various places in town especially the mama stalls where all the titles are on sale. I was by then a collector and laying my hands on whatever titles was on sale. If I run out of money I would dip into my late father pocket without his knowledge.emoticon

How many of you out there are fans of Marvel comics? Share with us your fantasies. I am thinking of organising a group to watch ‘the Avengers’ together, anyone keen?emoticon

  1. Hi Dan

    You must have got a very BIG collection of old Marvel comics! I was only briefly interested in these comics and now am ready to part with my very SMALL collection.

    cheers :)

  2. Hi Jassmine,

    No lah, most of my comics are gone, only a handful are left. Most are borrowed by friend and I have lost track of who I lend to.

    There is a special price of $4.50 ticket for the movies for senior cirizen but have to be on a weekday before 5.00pm. Anyone game to go for the movies, ‘The Avengers:.

    All of us have different hobby and pastimes, some collect stamps, some matchbox, some underwears or bras. What is your fantasy?

  3. Hi Dan,
    I have a very large collection of Reader’s Digest books. They are taking up a lot of space. I wonder if they are of any value now. I want to sell these. I now collect money.

  4. Hi Winnie,

    Did you said collect money, how, like the karang guni man? I want to learn more.

    If there more coming forward with peculiar or more ‘white elephants’, I think it time we organize another Flea Mart. Let’s me scout around. Pek Kio market may be a likely venue. We can have Flea Mart and a live band karoeke together. Any supporters?

    What other weird collecters do we have in our midst. Hah, I know, our infamous Chief Sitting Bull collect used comdoms for sale. Nothing come close to beating that!

  5. Hi Dan
    I think you may have to revise your post heading to ‘Marvel Superheroes, Fantasies and Hobbies’ lol!

    During my comic reading days, i enjoyed Beano and Dandy, Lat, Peanuts, The Silent Three, Ninja Turtles… Those were days of innocence. sigh.

    Now I still enjoy reading old and reprinted issues of Peanuts and Lat. Lat is really nostalgic!

    Maybe we can share our fav comics on a Comics Day! :)
