I just gave the care home next door my entire comic collection (700-present day, plus Megs, plus Crisis, plus graphic novels, EE's, misc).
Sniff
Don't worry, you'll be buying it all back again in an nostalgia influenced ebay frenzy in a few years.
why didn't you give it to some deserving Australian?
You must have some happy, thrill power emitting eldsters next door!
well done Citizen Mackay!
:-) r
errr... but what're YOU going to read now?!
Nah - it's juvies. Y'know - for kids...
Me, I've got a backlog of 45 novels and christ alone knows how many books of criticism & theory to get through.
Mister T pities fools, the rest of us must simply suffer them.
You madman. As if a care home needed anti-authoritarian material infecting those kiddies' minds. I blame the next riot squarely on you and Pat Mills.
Ah.. James, you're a star...
:-)
That is good Karma. Well done.

James, it's actions like these that make life worthwhile! Just think of those kids getting the most out of your collection - and feel good about a job well done!
Congratulations on your good heartedness.
Dredd is most probably being introduced to Crayola as we speak...

Okay, so maybe there is a downside to moving to Cyprus and embracing a Mediterranean lifestyle after all.
Remind me why I should feel sorry for you?? MY comic collection is being used as fuel for my funeral pyre thus I shall be able to in one go make up for all the carbon emitions I haven?t done by not having a car using energy saving stuff and using public transport or a bicycle all my life "Get the Thrills, save the Progs AND KILL THE ENTIRE PLANET!? :)
Hey Tweak... You're a PWEI fan!!
When I used to manage a care home for kids I wouldn't have let any near the house carrying boxes of old comics 8-)
Yeah! Good man James!
I use my 2000ad's to get kids who just don't wanna read, reading.
Don't worry, Logan - they were very firm about not letting me through the front door!
:)
Shit, I hope my mum doesn't read this and get the bright idea of taking all my old Progs into her work for the little hooligans to destroy...
Seriously though, yes it is a good thing to do and your next life will undoubtedly be higher up the Wheel of Karma as a result.
You'll regreeeeeeeeeeeet it!
well done james, & you could always brave the midges again & read mine if your thrill levels get to critical..
unless i've felt shamed into donating them all to the kiddies i work with, damn you & your superior moral high ground !
yepper i am a Poppies fan and follower of the purple space man
That is a very kind thing to do.
All power to you mate.
Blimey!
When I moved country, I shipped my collection over, then completed it.
I don't think I could give my collection away.
