From early-90s to the mid-00’s, my grandpa, God rest his soul, saved select comic sections from The Detroit News newspaper. He was a comic junkie, like me, and saved all these newspapers in shoeboxes in his old summer home in Pierport, MI. A little over five years ago, my sisters and I went up there for what we thought was our last time when he proposed he’d sell the place. I found these shoeboxes full of comics, and the rest is history. Unfortunately, I threw some away to save space, but somewhere between 50% and 70% were saved.
