The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

. . . lost a comic when you were a kid and found it years and years later?

Which comic did you lose? Where did you lose it? How did you find it again?

When I was 7, I remember enjoying Iron Man #102. He was fighting the Dreadnaught. A flashy Dr. Doom/Black Knight villain type. For years and years after, I was haunted by where the heck I could have put that thing. A few years ago, I found it in the back of a drawer in my grandma's bureau. It had been in there for thirty-odd years!

I took it to a comic con and had George Perez sign the cover.

Now tell me YOUR story . . .

I don't lose things.

Sorry.

[Benderbrau]

Probably.

Great story huh

I've never lost a comic book. I lost a toy sword once.

Not as a kid but as an adult I lost Fantastic Four : 1,2,3,4 TP for a few years. I found it behind a cabinet when I moved, I'd thought someone at work had stolen it cause that's where I remember seeing it last.

I also lost Legion of Super Heroes #11 (Waid's run) and bought a replacement at a con. When I finally got around to putting his entire run together I lost the replacement but found the original.

So... your Grandma is a comic book thief?

There is a comic in my collection where I hid a really bad report card from my parents. Cannot recall which one it was though.

What I wish I still had (not sure if my brother has it) was a drawing our babysitter did for us years ago of the cover of Avengers 172. Colored pencils. It looked really sweet.

[Timbales]

.... needed someone so bad?

It's a good thing Bender found it for you. But you may not like what he's done with it.

She needed somewhere to hide the old nude Polaroid's of herself.

I constantly toss books I hate behind furniture. If you visit the Tolstoy vs Dostoyevsky thread, you will learn that most of my Joseph Conrad novels are discovered years later under my bed.

As a kid I had NBA Hangtime for PC. Recently, I found it in a box of stuff my dad had stored for some odd reason. I put it on my computer and played the shit out of it for weeks. Then I lost it again.

Sadly, that includes your virginity.

Sad for YOU, that is.

I once found a copy of Detective Comics #527 between the couch cushions. It was a great Man-Bat story. I was very happy when I found it.
