A comic book collector asked me the other day about what he should do with scrap comics in his collection. He wondered if it was worth keeping them, or if he should simply toss them out. I suggested other options to tossing them.

Use Scrap Comics for Crafts
If you have young children around to give you scrap comics to, you have done something better than simply tossing the scrap comics out. I remember doing different crafts with scrap comics when I was a kid. Of course, if you do not have children to give them to, or children in the neighborhood or your family to give them to, consider donating them to a school district. They can put the scrap comics to good use through a school project.
Donate to a Military Group
Some military groups will be happy to send your unwanted comics to our service men and women overseas. A friend of mine served in Afghanistan and he talks about the scrap comics someone sent over to his platoon. The comics were a simple distraction from the fighting and he told me that reading them invigorated him because he was able to return to his childhood for about twenty minutes a day.
If you have scrap comics laying around the house, think about interesting ways to use them. Don’t simply toss them as someone else might gain enjoyment from them.
