One of the Few Advantages of Getting Older: Old Comics

There aren’t very many advantages to getting older. But, there are a few. One possible advantage for those of us who maintained our childhood collections of stuff in reasonably good shape is that we can enjoy that stuff decades later. Back in the old days, comics were 12 cents (and 10 cents before that!) This The Avengers #40 is from May 10, 1967 and is among the good cheap fun things I’ll be retro-reviewing here on an ongoing basis. A near-mint copy of this one goes for around $180 according to the Comics Price Guide. But, you can find it pretty good shape like this for quite a bit less I suspect. And, of course, if it is in your collection, well you already paid your 12 cents way back when
