I’m Sharing My ‘80s Comic Book Collection With Podcast Donors

People still look surprised when I tell them my age. They’re usually under by about a decade. That’s because while my fellow students at Smoky Hill High School were kegging in the sun at Cherry Creek Reservoir or showing off the raccoon-face burns they got on ski slopes, I was inside playing 7 Seconds records and masturbating and reading comic books.

Between 1984 and 1987 I acquired quite a few comic books, and most of them are in surprisingly good shape, like me.

The multiples are there from an ROI standpoint, but who gives a shit about a 75¢ investment that went 6X?

You do, because I’m giving most of the collection away to people who support the show. (Swag tiers and basic overview here if you’re done reading.)

Here’s how it works:

• When you donate $20 or more, you get the Breakup Gaming Society cocktail booklet, the Defiant Frog sticker AND a pull from the comics vault.

• I’ll show you an image of three comics randomized from the giveaway pile. You pick one. I mail it. Lower U.S. 48 states only, sorry.

Here’s how the first giveaway went. I showed my friends at Inkling Print Company these:

First pull from the vault. What will you get? Visit this page to see what cross-sections of my comics box are revealed — and what people are picking.

Then Inkling was like:

Isn’t that beautiful? I mailed it last week.

FAQ
Q. What if I don’t like any of the comics you pulled? Can I request different ones?
A. Yeah, if you’re a dick. Or your donation was excessive. This is for fun. I’m not running a sale here.
