Comic books (Comics)/Expert Profile
Expertise
I`ve collected comics for 40 years and I'm able to answer most questions regarding comics, creators, fandom and the industry from the Golden Age through the Silver & Bronze Ages up through today`s comics, with an emphasis on super and action heroes. I have knowledge of the Western, Funny Animals, Romance and other genres, but to a lesser degree. My expertise lies in DC Comics/National Periodical Publications, although my general knowledge extends well into Marvel, Tower, Archie, Charlton & many of the "Independent" companies that began in the late 70`s & 80`s.
Experience in the area
I have been a comics reader/fan for over 35 years now and have followed industry trends from distribution to creation to fandom to retail and back again. I have had several letters published in Comic Buyers Guide and have several websites dedicated to comics at:

Hi, Ken - thanks for your question! Your question poses a couple of issues. While it is possible that you have a very good copy, the fact that it has been in a bag for 28 years is problematic.
