There was a little store off Bleecker that specialized in undergroundcomics. Every Friday afternoon after work, I’d go there to see what wasthe latest version just hitting the shelves. With several of my hippy friendsgrooving, and laughing over Comics, we’d sit around that smoke-filled room,sometimes late into the night.Fast forward, some fifty yearslater– my wife and I discovered some old cardboard boxes hiddenbehind junk in the back of our storage locker. It was a dry, cool placeand the hundreds of underground comics that had only been read once, were inbeautiful condition. It felt like we discovered a pot of gold. Wewrote to dozens of book and comic stores with a list of our inventory.They said, there was no interest, no market and offered us little to nothingfor the collection. We explained to them that these were complete sets, firsteditions. To the retail outlets they were worthless, but to us they werepriceless. Now we offer them on E-Bay and the collectors are grabbingthem up, at our more than fair and reasonable prices.
