Hola.
Over on another board I post on we're doing something kind of fun that I thought I might suggest here, which is a classic comic exchange. The idea is pretty simple. I know I have a lot of old comics that I have picked up over the years to read or try out but that for one reason or another I don't necessarily feel a major attachment to. Maybe they're doubles or whatever. And I'm guessing you guys are in the same boat. The comic exchange is a way to find those books a new home while also getting a chance to check out some new comics yourself without having to pay for the privilege.
Basically, they way it works is like this: PM me a mailing address and I will send you a care package consisting of ten random back issues. Once you receive them, you can then return the favor and send me ten back issues that you no longer want to keep. Since the shipping will mostly cancel out, there's no need for money to change hands -- just for classic comics to find new and hopefully more appreciative eyes.
Of course, there are a few series that I already have completed, so my thought is if anyone is interested in participating, instead of listing the comics you want, you can just list the comics you already have and therefore don't want; personally, I think some of the fun is in opening the package and finding out what you've gotten. It's like a little comic book Christmas.
So, here's my list of a few titles I don't need, but anything else is fair game. And if anyone wants to join in, just post here or send me your mailing address and I'll send you a box of classic comics.
Note: For the most part I'm going to limit my selections to comics from before 1985, but if you only have newer stuff, that's cool too.
Things I Don't Need
Avengers/WCA
Captain America
Warlord
Jonah Hex
Sgt Fury
Unknown Soldier
Thor
