Disney pays $4 Billion for Marvel Comics

If Disney paid $4 Billion for Marvel comics, I wonder what my stacks of comic books would be worth today? An idle thought as they were all heaved into the trash within 24 hours of my leaving home for college. Back in what now must seem like the Dark Ages, it was assumed that if you left home to go to college you would not be returning home again. This was an assumption that not only parents and neighbors made, but also their children. I would have rather shipped out on a slow boat somewhere that to have returned home. But I should have taken those comic books with me.
The blog image reminds me of those hot summer afternoons in Texas when we took our comics to the shade of a tree, traded them with friends and generally wasted hours imagining our own adventures.
