Mixed Bag


Recommended Posts

Does anyone remember when retail stores sold two comics in a transparent bag? There was often one you wanted, but the other one was always as interesting as used dishwater.

I remember.  I also remember being able to buy two comics, one candy bar, and one soda for $1.  I'm old as dirt, apparently.

That would have been around 1980 in Canada, not sure about the US.

For me, it was circa 1975.

STILL only 25 cents!

 

I well remember those days, comics were an obsession of mine all through the 70's and 80's up until I got too busy running my business to have extra time.  I think it was around the Death of Superman/Rise of the Supermen storyline that I stopped collecting, and along about 2000 I got the ultimatum that the boxes and boxes full of comics had to go.
