I remember countless hours being entertained at Terminal One, waiting, for my dad to come home on long delayed flights on BWIA (But Will it Arrive) Airlines at the end of every summer. Most of the comics I got were usually whitman or gold key, but there was a variety of stories you couldn't find in Marvel or DCs that I appreciated, not to say I didn't enjoy those comics, too. Then, there were also the trips to BiWay in Guelph, where I could always buy some, usually discounted, two bags for a little more than the price of one.<br /><br />I wish they did things like this these days. It's be an easy and inexpensive way to introduce the kids to comics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-65770485283225888852013-02-08T13:14:39.468-05:002013-02-08T13:14:39.468-05:00Big ups to your pops for not only allowing you tag...Big ups to your pops for not only allowing you tag along, but also putting a limit on you to avoid over doing it.

Seeing the Micronauts and The Black Hole sets gives me a big smile.<br /><br />I went on a kick a year or two back and picked up that Black Hole 3-pack as well as some early GI Joe and Transformers Marvel 3-packs. <br /><br />In the days before regular trips to comic shops, those 3-packs were how I used to fill in missing back issues in comics I collected. <br />-MattGalaxy Ghoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07809844308486375540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-45052719421850931682013-02-07T14:06:43.969-05:002013-02-07T14:06:43.969-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-21011220683163410652013-02-07T08:27:43.143-05:002013-02-07T08:27:43.143-05:00I remember these 3 packs.
