So with my Twins turning 16 this Friday (the 12th, same day as Deadpool movie release)
And them being pretty geeky (apple doesn't fall far from the tree) I am of course taking them to the movie for their birthday! I was reading up on it, and saw a post about the first appearance of Deadpool in the New Mutants 98 in 1991. I thought to myself "Self, you were a comic-book collecting 18 year old geek in 1991, what are the chances?" So I went to find out.
Box was pretty beat up, my parents kept it at their place until I had my own.
Everything looks like it survived pretty well.
There were TONS of Wolverine.
Also Groo!
Naturally some X-men.
97! 98 should be next right?
Nope. 18 year old me was apparently disorganized.
A weird book called What If? That Marvel ran for a while, with weird scenarios.
Finally! In great shape too!

Found another great series while I was geeking out on nostalgia.
Appropriate given the Marvel movies coming out soon.
Lobo tax?
I know, filthy DC book mixed in with Marvel. I preferred Marvel but collected a few choice DC.

Up vote Groo!!
foreverxking
Love it. Collected comics since 1985.

I always upvote DP. Also you have no idea how many fucked up noise I made by seeing this @OP.
whycantweallsmokeupandbehappy
Nice! I myself have a box like this. My 13 year old now has them. He is proud that his mother is a comic geek and has a hell of a collection

I love Groo! This makes me cringe, and glance guiltily at the closet and the several white boxes stored up in there.
RobOttman
That's the comic book that needs to be a TV series!
MaxIn
Oh god yes! That would be amazing.

OP will give every upvote $100 after he finds out how much these are worth.

You're over paying, with maybe the exception of the infinity series,90s comics are practically worthless,almost killed the industry
rubbarz
Shhhhhh. Ill give you an upvote if you just let me take all of these.
redmangc
Because of how much they printed them and called them "collectors items"

Let me bring down a friend who happens to be an expert to get a price.

Holy shit.... Nice!

Someone else collects Groo?

Apparently, it has a lot of nudity. Just a warning. Lots of dick jokes too, but I think they can handle that.
MaxIn
They're pretty well adjusted teens, and are way way past the sex talk. :D
inboxmefoxes
Forget the nudity, it's got good ol' Liefeld. For when shoulders have pecs and pecs have pecs and dicks have pecs.
MaxIn
I think they meant the movie.
inboxmefoxes
Oh. Well, I'll be at least a little disappointed if movie Deadpool doesn't make a Liefeld crack anyways.
magneticgumby
Rob Liefeld, living proof that you can be a mediocre artist, ignore all human anatomy, and with the write timing, become ridiculousy famous
itsokayyoucanlaugh
Awesome post @OP.
SirDistic
What If is an amazing series
MetalSkeletal
This looks so much like my collection. Born in the early 80's rode the comic wave all the way through to the end of the millennium
SexyDeadpool
I'm relevant!
SeniorStrangelove
Man I would love to own that lobos greatest hits. I love the lobo conis especially those illustrated by this particular artist.
PyroDragon
@OP's kids: No fair stealing my birthday, also Abe Lincoln's birthday.
ImaCrazyWeirdo
Wasn't deadpool released today?
ThatQuietlySmirking
God, Liefeld sucks.
Thorhees
Deadpool was the only good thing he ever did.
DickDastardly404
He didn't suck, he just got arrogant and rolled too deep into the comic book style. TBF I grew up on his work, so I can never truly hate him
ThatQuietlySmirking
Rob Liefeld is the Uwe Boll of the comics world.
FamousPierre
Came back to upvote this.
vexic
DP is pretty rad and all but I gotta be honest I'd gladly have him erased from history if it meant Liefeld didn't get to do comics ever.

Lobo is worth it.
lesserknowncharacter
I recently went through my white boxes and literally found nothing of any value except copies of Transmetropolitan and Powers #1.
no4u
You have the one box or more? My dad has at least 24 boxes and my friends and I have been cataloging them.
MaxIn
That's the only box I have, I didn't keep all my comics. I went through it afterwards more fully, mostly Wolverine, Xmen variants...

I always right an R rating meant 18?..

Have an up vote despite "filthy DC" comment. Flash and Legion of Super Heroes were my favs.
MaxIn
I was just teasing, there's some good DC, the store in my small town just only sold mostly Marvel :(
mamadoom
Stan Lee has mentioned that his favorite DC character is Lobo.
docweird
I'm not into super character comics, so Lobo hit my comic nerve back in the day. What a complete, lovable, bastard. :D
MaxIn
I have Lobo vs the Mask somewhere too.... gotta find it again :D
MaxIn
And I think you mean bastich.
TwiztdFred
So @OP, about that pie....
MaxIn
pie?
TwiztdFred
MaxIn
I'll send you the recipe if you want
TwiztdFred
Ha ha ha, no thanks man. I"m good, just trying to be funny.
