This is a bit off topic, but I figured I'd ask anyway to see if anyone could offer up ideas on this delimma I've got right now.
As the subject header says, I'm looking to get rid of my entire comic book collection. However, I'd like to do something more beneficial with them then to just chuck them into the dumpster. I know someone is going to suggest an online auction, if so tell me your experiences with selling comics online otherwise I'll just ignore it.
I've considered the local comic museums, but the most recent information says, they're looking for golden/silver age comics exclusively, or they're asking for payment for storage. I have comics from the mid 80's to early 90's, mostly the super hero themed. So, with all that said, if you've any ideas on what I could do with the comics other then the above, I'm all ears.

You could always donate them to a children's charity.
The comics market in the early 90s was hugely inflated, and unfortunately you're not going to get much for most of those books now. Might as well pass them on to someone who'll read and enjoy them.

I know! You could have an online auction. I've never done it before, though.

If you don't care about money donate them to local hospitals, childrens hospitals especially.
Some people donate them to the army so the soldiers can get something new to read.

The actor Comic fund stated an interest in receiving my collection, but after receiving the list of what I've got they never got back to me on picking them up. As such I'm offering up the list for all to check out and pick what they want and make me an offer. The listing can be downloaded from the url below.

I'm not curious to know why or how you zoomed in on that title out of the whole bunch so fast. I had no idea your tastes were like that, but I bought it when I was young and curious. It didn't spark an interest in bondage on my part, though I know a few folks who might like the comic as a gift, pity they live so far and I'm checp with postage.
