    Dang, I was hoping this was a spoiler page from “One More Day”.

    It’s Sean Kleefeld, actually.

    The first time I ever saw a trade paperback, it was this book.

    It was on display - several copies, in fact - on display in a FURNITURE STORE. As ballast for a piece of crap MDF DIY bookcase!

    They had loads of copies, but would they give eight year-old me one? Would they balls.

    Can’t think when I next saw a US paperback collection…1990? 1989? Official Handbook? I got a copy of that - the “S” edition, naturally - for passing my English exams a year early.

    Stop Making Me Remember Things!

    I remember checking this out from the library at my middle school. I still sometimes use J. Jonah Jameson’s relaxation technique!

    80s? Try 70s. Nineteen-seventy six, to be exact. Yes, I checked. I remembered buying it when I was a kid, but I stopped reading comics about the time this came out. Still bought it though. I think I still have it in a box somewhere.
