I lordags var vi pa Midtown Comics pa 45th and Lexington. Vi har varit dar ett par ganger forut. Jim har tydligen inte last mycket serietidningar. Det har kanske inte jag heller har. Men jag minns att jag bladdrade i Hulken, Batman och saklart aven Kalle Anka (om det raknas):) Men en favorit som min kara far hade hemma var Fantomen. Han sag sa cool ut, hade en vacker vit hast och bodde i en dodskalle-grotta. Serien ar valdigt gammal. De gamla orginalen kan man fa en bra summa for idag.
Nar jag var liten fanns aven Fantomen godis. Det var det basta lordagsgodisen man kunde fa, tyckte jag. Lakrits, lakrits och lakrits. Mmm! Jag kan fortfarande komma ihag vissa smaker i den blandingen. Och jag minns hur roligt det var med Fantomen-ringar som man hade pa alla fingrarna, haha. Foretaget som salde dessa godispasar gick sen i konkurs. Mitt favorit godis forsvann.
I butiken hade de bara nyare tidningar, inte de gamla som jag hade last. Men jag kopte en iaf. Sag sen att den inte var som en “vanlig” seritidning, utan mer om en bok. Det gor inte mig nagot. Kul att lasa iaf:) Jag har sparat nagra av pappas Fantomen i Sverige som jag tankte ta med mig nasta gang jag ar dar pa semester.
On Saturday we went to Midtown Comics on 45th and Lexington. We have been there a couple of times before. Jim has apparently not read much comic books. Perhaps, neither have I. But I remember browse through the Hulk, Batman, and of course Donald Duck (if that counts):) But a favorite that my dear father had at home was The Phantom. He looked so cool, had a beautiful white horse and lived in a skull-cave. The old originals, you can get a good amount for today.
When I was young, you could get Phantom candy. It was the bast Saturday candy you could get, I thought. Licorice, licorice and licorice. Mmm! I can still remember some tastes in that mixture. And I remember how fun it was with the Phantom-rings that you had on all your fingers, haha. The company selling these candy bags then went bankrupt. My favorite candy disappeared.
In the store, they only had newer comics, not the old ones that I read. But I bought one anyway. Saw later that it was not like a “normal” comic book, but more like a book. It doesn’t bother me at all. Glad to read it anyway:) I have saved a few of my dad’s Phantom in Sweden that I was going to take with me next time I’m on vacation there.
