“Fighting Fit” by MG Taboada

Submitted to Contest #48

“Just look at this place!” Janice says, standing in the middle of the hallway and fanning herself. Stacks of comic books line the walls, forming a dark tunnel. Her dark hair is drawn back in a tight bun, she smooths over her freshly ironed shirt. “This has gone too far.” “Looks alright to me,” Kim says as she leans against a wall near the doorway. “You would say that; when was the last time you actual...

“Crinkled Memories ” by X. Berry

Submitted to Contest #48

The attic door opened, years of undisturbed dust floating in the sunlight that peaked through the windows encrusted with hints of mold. The attic itself was a mess, really, as one should expect any attic to be, but Lyra knew they held more than years of hoarded junk. She bent down near a brown cardboard box, which seemed to have bumped into a multitude of objects over the course of its lifetime for its corners were bent and worn away. Lyra carefully picked up the stack of graphic novels and crinkled news comics that lay inside and set them t...

“A Fan Till The End” by Isla Scott

Submitted to Contest #48

I had always loved comic books, right from a young age the adventures of Batman were my favourite. Although the heroes were never really my favourite characters. I mainly loved the villains and would sometimes find myself sympathising with them.I never thought there would be anyone like me.Until one day, I ran into my favourite comic book store to get my hands onto the new edition of The Umbrella Academy. There were a few people here and there but mostly the store was empty. I noticed a man holding my favourite edition of a comic. One which ...

“Athena: Goddess of Comics” by Steffani Hitchcock

Submitted to Contest #48

Athena's best friend, Kylie, was helping her get ready for the first day of their Junior year of high school. "I don't really like that top, Athena, it's a weird color." Kylie said. "You're right. I'll change," Athena told her. "This is going to be our best year," Kylie explained. "Sophomore year didn't count because we were still young, and senior year isn't that important because no one goes until around prom anyway." "It's also the most important year for grades, Kylie," Athena said, annoyed. "Right, right," Kylie giggled. Kylie meant w...

“The Red Raider” by Becky Nanney

Submitted to Contest #48

I didn't know much about comics, but he did. He was fascinated by all the heroes, villains, magical places. I wasn't. Nevertheless, it was he who awoke the hero in me. My brother, Jakob, was only six years old when he saved my life. His curiosity so was impeding upon my personal life that I thought I might kill him, as most teenagers feel about younger siblings, I'm sure. He was always asking what I was doing and why I was doing it. He then would proceed to compare me to some superhero or another and I would always just shake my head. "I'm...

“Adventures in collecting” by Darren Bourne

Submitted to Contest #48

I remember a day back in 1994 it was a bright sunny Saturday morning. Although not always the earliest of risers I was up, washed, dressed and had eaten my breakfast by 8 o’clock in the morning a rarity on a weekend. Today I was going to the comic book shop in Barnet with my friend Graham. It had one of the largest back issue collections out of all the shops we generally visited. Our usual shops in Watford and St Albans were good but this had a much larger selection and I was looking forward to filling some gaps in my...

“Blue Light” by Lauren Bae

Adam quickened his pace but the fourth grader wouldn’t leave him alone. He groaned before turning around. The girl was caught by surprise and fell on the ground, leaves crunching underneath her and her backpack. “I don’t care what you think you saw, Charlie. Whatever it was, it never happened.” Adam said, helping Charlie up from the forest ground. “Just please go home.” Charlie responded by shoving a yellow comic book in his face. Without looking at the title, Adam already knew which one it was. “The Mind Bender.” Adam sa...

“Would You Rather...” by Kathy McGinnis

Submitted to Contest #48

Myles and Jessica Whitaker wander around the small comic book store, gazing through the different styles and types. Realizing it is dim in the room, Myles realizes the huge window at the front is tinted. ‘It probably protects the comics from the sun,’ he thinks. As he thumbs through the comic casings, he smiles a the irony of the situation. He and his twin sister, Jessica don’t even own a comic book. One of their close friends suggested getting one yesterday for their 21st birthday, which just so happens to be today....

“I just don’t get the appeal of them.” Fleur exclaimed one afternoon after noticing a whole stack of comic books in Margo’s office. “How could you not like them?” Margo scoffed, incredulously. She dumped a pile of comics onto Fleur’s desk. “They’re full of exciting characters with interesting powers who. It’s a world where good always wins. How is that not a good thing?” Margo asked. That was all that was said on the subject but it left Fleur with a lot to think about. - Fleur had followed Margo and Tom to a vintage comic book convention to ...

“A Collected Hero” by Brendan Giblin

Submitted to Contest #48

Shards of glass covered the concrete and glistened in the morning summer sun. “You’ve got to be kidding,” Dustin said as his tires screeched. He groaned as he lifted his body out of the car and felt the glass crunch under his feet. “Just tell me they’re safe.” Sweat dripped down his forehead as he wrestled with the lock. He couldn’t risk trying to slide through the opening amidst the jagged glass. Chimes rang as the door slowly shut and his arms knocked over packs of cards and collectibles as he hurried to inspect the shelf behind the regis...

“The Silent Gab” by Manisha .

Submitted to Contest #48

His footsteps were heavy as they fell on the stairs one by one. As usual, there was nothing but the sounds of dried winter leaves and the cool breeze rustling them on the floor. I woke up as I felt the commencing steps. Joshua was in an unusual hurry. Even the winter morning could not stop him from sweat. He crackled the key in the lock, stepped the paddle, and went away. I saw him through the open rusty iron gate. It was the unvarying sound of every day. But today, it was different. I ran, followed him, to his regular destination, he visite...

“Friends are Stupid but Comics are for Life” by Leah Felema

Submitted to Contest #48

"It's rusty, but that adds to the vintage-ness of it." The man nods. "It probably adds to the cost too." The woman's face looks somewhere between sheepish and excited. "Yeah." "I'll pay 150 dollars." "170." Sighing, the man glances to his watch and says, "Deal." "I was in the middle of a negotiation." "Don, listen, what I'm about to tell you is a million times better than the twenty dollars you would have saved to buy a two million year old comic book." The man makes a face at this but moves his hand to gesture for his friend to explain be...

“Underground Comic” by T O

Submitted to Contest #48

The city lights illuminated the slippery layer of water that coated the street. The moon dimly lit the night sky. Kamran slipped her way through the business workers who were hurrying home after their over time shifts, and the groups of party-goers who were quickly filling up the sidewalk - on their way to the bars and clubs for a Friday night out. If she had known it was going to rain, she would have brought an umbrella. Instead, she resorted to stuffing her head under the hood of her dirt stained sweatshirt. Her hands sat snuggly in her po...
