I have accumulated about 350 comic books and about 125 comic
magazines, and I have a couple of questions about stategy on
selling them.  I went to a used-book store and they would give
me $0.20 per comic book and were not interested in the comic
magazines.  I guess the questions I have are:

	1)  Is that all the comic books are worth?
	2)  Is there somewhere else (NJ/NY City area) I should
	    try?
	3)  Are the magazines worth anything?
	4)  Should I just store them and hope that in 20 years
	    they are worth something?

I guess before the questions can be answered, I have to give an
overview of what I have.

Comic Books:

- Conan the Barbarian - issues 28-160 plus 10 before issue 28
- Conan the King, Conan Annuals - 30 books
- Red Sonja - all issues of the first two series
- Dr. Strange - 55 books
- Arak - 1-25
- ROM, Silver Surfer, She Hulk, other miscellaneous fairly recent
    issues

Comic Magazines:

- Savage Sword of Conan - 90 issues
- Epic - First 20 issues
- Marvel Treasury - 6 issues
- Assorted Others

They are all in reasonable condition except some of the older Conans
show some wear.  They are all in plastic bags.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.  Please respond via computer mail
