Arkansas Weekend: Comic relief

For some people it still stings. They went off to college, came home and discovered that Mom had thrown away the comic books they’d spent a childhood collecting, Jennifer Nixon writes in Thursday's Arkansas Weekend section.

“Everyone’s books got thrown out, apparently, and there’s not many copies of those older books around,” explains Brent Douglass, 36, of Sherwood, who started the River City Comic Expo.

The fall expo, taking place Saturday at the Metroplex in Little Rock, hosts vendors and collectors selling new and old comics and collections of pulp novels.
