    Thanks guys. As an eight year old I bought the first issue of Spiderman. I used to get a quarter allowance a week. I always bought two comic books-twelve cents apiece, and a caramel creme candy, called a bullseye, for a penny. I must confess, I didn't care all that much for Spiderman. I used to have a bit of fear of spiders. I think that's why I wasn't much drawn to him. Yuk yuk. Get it? Drawn to him? I liked the D.C. guys, especially Green Lantern. My friend Steve Jones however almost instantly switched to Marvel. He called Superman "super sickening. Ha ha. Hindsight being twenty-twenty, I should have moved heaven and earth to get my hands on as many of those Spiderman issues as possible.
