The toons of the 80s was in SL. The superhero craze was on full time in the mid and late 80s as comics were widely available as well as the superhero swap cards.I had the full superhero book filled up with all the hero and villain cards.A pack of 5 or 10 cards (cant remember now) was Rs. 5/- and there were several vendors by the school gate then. Those vendors must have made millions out of the school kids. Selling those cards.Captain America, Spider Man and a few others were the hardest to find and there were some serious fights when those cards went missing.The older 70s to 40s comics were available in the second hand book stores in Maradana. I was always able to sneak a few when my dad use to rent books from them. The shop owner was kind enough to let me have them as long as return them along with dad's books. Needless to say that the 40s books were extremely rare. I was able to find only a handful of those.Asimov's stories were always out of the box. The man was a genius. However I like Clerk's visions of the future though.They had pleasure in sadistically torturing their victims. I doubt any back story can justify those actions other than being purely evil.</blockquote>
