"Comic books; my passion. I love comic books. I just really, really do, and I love super heroes. You know; comic books really became a cultural phenom, and it started in the 50's; 60's, when the super heroes were starting to really peak. If you look at the 40's; that's when the super heroes were introduced. There's a couple of different comic book brands; Marvel, DC. These are the super heroes. Marvel; you've got Spiderman, DC; you've got Superman, you've got Batman, you've got Wonderwoman. Those were the kinds of heroes that we all really were excited about. It was on television, and at the movies. We really love comic books. Our culture has fallen in love with super heroes. When we're looking at comic books, we're looking at age; age and condition. What I'm going to focus on here; probably, is nothing really current, but we're going to look at those that are the silver age, and the golden age. The golden age was the 40's and the 50's, and we'll get to that; because those are most valuable, but The silver age is just subsequent to that, which would be the 50's and the 60's. So we're going to start talking abut those, and what to look for in those particular comic books."
