WILDER S WHOLE WORLD: Comics
By Dwayne Wilder
I never thought I would visit or get to meet him.
Yet, fate put me in a position – including a pandemic – to do just that; decades after the fact. I was a youngster who began collecting and reading comic books; this was the early 1970s. It became my hobby soon enough with just about every waking hour reading, caring for and admiring the COMX, as I fondly called them.
I studied every aspect of the comic book: the story, the art, the letters page and yes, even the advertisements. I remember seeing the ad for ‘Mile High Comics’ and the name of the owner, Chuck Rozanski, but like all the others, I put it aside as I had plenty of local comic book sources.
