Missy got me a time machine for Christmas, what'd you get?

Back in the olden days I was a big fan of comic books. Having my dad take me to the newstand to pick up the latest issues was the highlight of my week. Spider-man was always my favorite.

This is every single Amazing Spider-man comic ever in PDF format on a DVD-ROM. The cool thing is that they're scanned right out of the old comics so every ad for x-ray glasses and onion gum is just as enticing as when I was 10 years old.

I'll probably never read them all - ahem much too mature for that ahem - but $30 for 45 years of comic books? It's worth that just to have back my copy of #121 which I traded to a friend for #100. Stupid kid. :mad:

Nice memories...... going to the newsstand, looking at the racks of comics and smelling the candies and the gum. They were right at my nose level as my dad handed money over them to the man behind the counter to pay for the purchases of the day. mmmmmmm.
