Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If money is better than comics, why do I keep giving it away to get more of the damned things?

Right now, having lapsed in purchasing, I'm looking irritatedly at much of my current collection. I know a fair bit of it (X titles, I'm looking at you) will never be read again. But here it is, taking up space. I did quite want to read it the once--but that's all. It's no more a waste of money to buy and toss a comic than it is to buy and never touch it again, but there's no way I could countenance the former.

Do I not resume buying all those titles? But I want to digest the narratives!

It's annoying me. Thankfully I have nowhere to put long boxes. I think.

Sell 'em, Jilli. They can buy you more *new* comics. And if you have it all in other formats anyway...

If it weren't a series you were crazy about I'd agree with the above posters, but to me the corresponding Sandman issues have sentimental value and I don't want to part with them. Those very comics, physically, are the ones I was holding when Neil Gaiman pulled me into that world.

An aquaintance of mine who worked at a comics store years ago asked me if I was in the market to sell my original issues, and I just walked away laughing.

Because I'm not going to look at that until I'm not at work, all I can say is speculation: it's GOT to be 90% Wonder Woman! The chick was *always* getting tied up!

There's plenty of WW, but also lots of Conan covers and Eerie and other kink-o-riffic stuff. Their definition of "bondage" is extremely loose, however, including pictures where people are in the grasp of octopus arms.
