Old Comic Books Donation Places?

[theodosia.livejournal.com]

A friend was about to throw out 1000+ comic books (from 1988-1998 or so) from Marvel & DC, so I temporarily rescued them, because honestly, it hurts to see readable material recycled. Does anyone know of a local organization that would take them (I can drop them off, seeing as they're sitting in the back of my car right now anyway)?

(They're not moldy or too torn -- quite in readable shape -- but they have never been kept in archival (i.e. keeps 'em even marginally valuable) storage so I know they're useless as collectibles.)

Doesn't Goodwill have a stack of comics in their window right now?

See if Comicazi (on Highland Ave) wants any of 'em.

If you just want rid of them, I know someone who would love them..

I would take them to outer limits in Waltham, he may pay you a little even.

I'd take them to the Goodwill. I love shopping there, because it has such great stuff...so I am a huge proponent of donating things to them.

Comic book stores might take them -- I was able to donate a good pile of old Buffy comics to New England Comics. I'd second the suggestion to take them to Comicazi.

If you can't find a charity that wants 'em, *I'll* take them. 'Cause, comics!

[jadelennox]

Er, by which I mean, I'd love them and give them a good home but obviously a charity ranks me in the deserving list.

I'll split em with jadelennox!

A friend of mine sold a huge pike of comics to Comicazi last year. I'd try them.
