Kurt Busiek: According to Mike's Amazing World of Comics, there are 33 comics that came out (in the US), the week I was born, and I own none of them. Although I own multiple reprints of this one. If I ever start going to cons again, maybe I should see if I can collect all 33...

Who could forget this classic tale from the week I was born? (I don't think I have ever read it.)

Here's Superman interfering with the timeline which leads to his birth.

And snuggling up to Kryptonian Hollywood hoochy queens.

Well, who wouldn't, given the opportunity?

The one comic I own from my birth month. I had a plan to buy one every year, but I don't actually see them in the few shops I frequent these days.

I started to do that for my brother 2 years ago--63 comics. In contrast, my birthday week had 32. I knew Harvey published a several titles, but 16 of mine were Harvey. I looked for reading quality with covers intact. Some were hard to find or too expensive, like Leave It to Binky #59.

**sigh** Settling for the week I was born would have been so much easier. I’ve been collecting all US comics that were current/on the stands when I was born, inc. monthly and bi-monthly titles. Seemed a fun goal when I started but wow it’s A LOT!

Just for giggles (and insomnia)
