The comic book trade at Wellston High has increased to business-sized proportions this year. More and more students begin to collect comic books each year, and it has been reported by some that the W.H.S. collectors have increased by as much as 200 percent. Some of the more serious collectors have considered opening a comic book store to continue to work on their collections during the summer months, but taxes and high starting costs have discouraged them, but only temporarily. Todd Madden, known by some as the Kingpin” of the comic book trade, has a huge collection consisting of a wide variety and age of books. He has nearly 2,200 comic books in his collection, with an approximate value of $8,200. Most students who collect comic books meet in the High school cafeteria early in the morning, mostly to trade and shop for bargains. Some of the more popular places to shop for comic books in Wellston are Fruth Pharmacy, Brenner's Key Market, and Ward’s Drugs. ABOVE.
