I Was a Teenage Marvel Zombie

It seems to be a common story in comic book collectors around my age. I started off exclusively reading Marvel comics. It was rather innocent at first. I was a big fan of Star Wars, so I started collecting Marvel's Star Wars series. I was, of course, familiar with most of Marvel's superheroes, but they didn't interest me at the time. Then my best friend started reading Rom, so I did, too. Rom was set in Marvel's superhero universe. Suddenly a whole new world was opened up to me.

Full essay coming one day.
