By SEAN PATRICK MURPHYThe Shamong Sun

The first comic book worthanything that I ever bought was“Avengers” #4.

OK, my parents actuallybought it for me in 1979.

It was $20 and in pretty crappycondition. It was a big deal be-cause the issue, which is dated

March 1964, featured the first ap-pearance of Captain Americasince World War II.

I still have that comic and,though I wouldn’t sell it, I figureit’s worth $100.

The same comic in near mintcondition is now selling on eBayfor $15,000.

So it goes in the world of col-lecting comic books.

I caught up with owners of four area comic book shops to dis-cuss trends and changes happen-ing in the business of buying andselling comics.

Scott Kaitz, co-owner with hisbrother Mike of the Comic Sta-tion in Haddon Heights, has been

open for one year.Scott, 47, said both he and his

brother are big comic book andaction figure collectors.

He’s also a Realtor with a lot of free time on his hands because of the slow real estate market.

“We decided it was as good atime as any to do something weboth enjoy,” Scott said, noting hehas been collecting comics on andoff for 40 years.

He said many people assumecomics are for children but mostof his customers are 25 or older.There are some comics for kidsbut not many have become more

graphic as far as violence, sex andlanguage go, Scott said.

“It’s just a misperception onthe part of people who don’t readcomics on a regular basis,” saidRobert Hoskins, who has ownedStormwatch Comics in WestBerlin for the last three and a half years.

Now 42, he has been collectingcomics since he was 7 years old.

Contrary to this theory, somestore owners believe it’s actuallymore difficult to get kids today toread comic books.

“They’re just not getting intocomics like they did, say, 10 yearsago,” said Michael Ferrero,owner of Fat Jack’s Comicrypt inOaklyn, which has been opensince 1982.

Ferrero, 60, who has been col-lecting comics since he was 9years old, said he believes videogames are one of the main rea-sons kids today aren’t readingcomics.

Instead of attracting a youngeraudience, Ferrero says the medi-an age of his customers is about

30 – thanks, at least in part, to the

Now that the flood waters arereceding and residents are assess-ing the damage to their homes,the Burlington County Office of Consumer Affairs is alerting

homeowners to be extremelywary of the predatory activitiesof fly-by-night home improve-ment contractors. That’s not all.

Natural disasters also oftengive rise to phony charities whofalsely claim to be raising fundsto assist victims. And, as if thatweren’t enough, warnings aboutgasoline price gouging are alsocirculating throughout the state.

“Our residents have spent thelast week preparing for and bat-tling the worst that HurricaneIrene had to throw at us,” Free-holder Mary Ann O’Brien said.“Now they have to be prepared forthe potential consumer abuses

that often arise from these typesof emergencies.”

“Residents need to guard them-selves against scammers posingas legitimate home improvement

contractors,” O’Brien added, not-ing these also include “stormchasers” – those scam artistsfrom other states who descendupon storm victims.

Whether they are approachedby contractors or initiating thecontact, homeowners should besure to obtain the contractor’sstate registration number. Theycan then call the county Con-sumer Affairs Office at 265-5054 tofind out if the registration isvalid and if there is a record of complaints.

“No money should changehands until this information issought and received,” Renee

Borstad, Consumer Affairs direc-tor, said.

She said that consumersshould also contact her officeabout a questionable charity that

asserts it is collecting money toassist hurricane victims.

Finally, on the topic of gasgouging, the law is clear: The lawprohibits an excessive price in-crease of 10 percent or moreabove the price at which it wassold just prior to the hurricane.Moreover, New Jersey law pro-hibits gas stations from changingthe retail price of motor fuelmore than once in a 24-hour peri-od.

“Anyone with any evidence of price gouging should contactConsumer Affairs immediately,”Borstad said. “We will investi-gate.”

But what many people want to

know is, can you make moneyfrom old comics sitting in an

attic?The answer, like most anything

else is “it depends.”Scott said anything prior to

1970 in good condition is worthsomething.

“Condition is everything,” hesaid, noting comics with the firstappearance of characters are also

usually worth more.For example, Green Lantern

6 THE SHAMONG SUN — SEPTEMBER 7-13, 2011

T

his is one of those things that

should not have to be said, but,

sadly, indeed has to be shouted

from the mountaintops: Every child

should feel safe going to school.

For far too many children, school is

a terrifying, hostile place to visit.

When these children go to school, they

are the targets of bullies. They know

no joy, only torment. The fear and pain

caused by verbal, emotional and even

physical abuse not only disrupt their

academic pursuits, but follow them

home and impact every facet of their

lives.

In New Jersey, we hope, that is about

to change.

Earlier this year, the state passed

what some people call the most strin-

gent anti-bullying policy in the nation.

In addition to mandating training

and reporting, the law states that bul-

lies can be suspended or expelled from

school. And that is what should hap-

pen.

Every teacher and administrator

knows who the bullies are. It’s time for

the troublemakers to hit the streets.

Let Mom or Dad deal with it, but keep

other students safe.

In the next few weeks, associate edi-

tor Sean Murphy will be writing a

comprehensive article on the new poli-

cy and how schools will be implement-

ing it. He wants to hear your ideas,

too. Not so much individual stories

and complaints, but thoughts about

how schools finally can take a stand

against bullying and make sure that

no student ever again has to worry

about being a target.

As we said, our view is a simple one:

Toss the troublemakers out of the

school and, if they don’t get the mes-

sage that they have to behave, don’t let

them come back.

Send your ideas to

[email protected].

Bullying the bulliesBullies head back to school, but hopefully not for long

Say goodbye, bullies

New Jersey has a new anti-bullyinglaw. Let us know what you thinkshould be done to keep students safe.

Vick, a hurricane, an alligator and a doughnut

Hurricane Irene plowsthrough South Jersey

We all knew that Hurricane Irene wasserious when Gov. Christie shut down theAtlantic City casinos on a weekend in the

summer. They re-opened a few days later.Other South Jersey residents were not

as lucky – many were still left withoutpower through parts of last week.

In addition to all the stories you heard,there were a lot of first-hand looks, thanksto our friend, Mr. YouTube.

Gloucester Township has an‘alligator hunter’ on its hands

Gloucester Township police respondedto a unique call this Sunday. No, it wasn’tHurricane Irene-related help that wasneeded. It was a loose alligator that wasfound near an apartment complex.

Around 1:45 p.m. Sunday, the township’spolice department responded to the Lake-

view Apartment complex, according to po-lice reports. It seems that an alligator wasfound underneath a bridge behind one of the complex’s buildings.

Police said the alligator was approxi-mately two foot in length and was found bya resident of the complex. The resident re-ported that he saw the reptile sitting underthe bridge by an adjacent lake.

Krispy Kreme hasn’t becomedangerous to us – yet

Krispy Kreme has opened its new SouthJersey location – which happens to be nearThe Yak’s home base.

And, judging from the lines outside of the shop, the locals can’t get enough of these doughnuts.

But, while other doughnut makers andsellers might be worried that KrispyKreme could cut into their business, theyshould take comfort in knowing that, in-stead of KK, they could have been upagainst these guys. Indeed, in Greece, thedoughnut trade can get rather testy asshop owners rely on champion wrestlers toscare off the competition.

To The Yak’s knowledge, Krispy Kremehas not hired any former wrestling cham-pions to discourage competition, but that’snot to say that it couldn’t happen.

We all – or all of us old ones – rememberthe late, great Randy “Macho Man” Savageurging us to “Snap into a Slim Jim.OOOOOHHHHH YEAAAAHHH!”
