BORN THIS WAY

So it's 1985.

I'm a junior in high school.

I like Devo, Adam and the Ants,

Black Flag and 7 Seconds.

I read lots and lots of J.R.R Tolkien.

I play videogames at Spaceport 

or on my friend's Apple II plus.

I ride a Skull Skates Mutant.

And I love comic books.

Especially X-Men.

In fact, I was pretty much exclusively a Marvel nerd.

(DC didn't do anything for me)

But I'd check out the teeny tiny independent shelf, too.

Alien Legion rocked.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was amazing.

(before they became all "Cowabunga, pizza, dude!")

and occasionally I'd pick up something just for the heck of it.

Especially if I was bored and needed 

something,

ANYTHING 

to read.

I bought this when I was stuck at my grandparents.

I remember liking it so much that I wrote the creator a letter!

And later when I bought issue 5:

I found this on the last page:

Whadda nerd!

Jeez... I was even bugging people for 

drawings when I was a kid!

(I didn't get one)

I actually found issues #1-6 sitting on a shelf in a comic store last weekend.

I know I still have my original copies buried SOMEWHERE.

Maybe at my parent's house?

But for $4 it was worth grabbing them for a read.

I wonder if I'll still like them?

P.S. 

Fashion in Action?  Seriously?
