  4. We had a comic book store down the street from our old house. They would go all out on Free Comic Book Day. My son and husband thought it was awesome. If we still lived there it would be my youngest daughter that would be begging to go.

  16. Comics is one of those very few entertainment when I was going up. We didn't have TV so reading comic stories and listening to radio were the best.
