1985

The beautiful picture on your left is from an upcoming new limited series from Marvel Comics called 1985. I remember the 80's so well, because they were hard years for me. I was so lonely, yet determined to put on a "happy face" because that's what the world wanted to see. I had gained a lot of weight, my family was dealing with my older brother's drinking problem, I was becoming more withdrawn, and I was starting to realize that I wasn't into girls. My only friends were horror movies and my comic books: X-Men, Avengers, The New Teen Titans, and The Legion of Super-Heroes. Reading those books somehow made me feel special--as if I was the only outsider allowed into their secret world. I love my comics, folks. I always will.
