I have fond memories of my best friend Rc. We shared the same interest for comics, Maybe that was the reason we could click together. Funny we did not started off on the right foot. The first time I encounter him, he was like an angry boy. He thought I had touched his bag and wanted to beat me up, or was it just a show? I said nothing and just walk away. Well you would too if you have seen his size. As fate would have it, we met again,when we became classmate the following year. As time goes by we became best friends and when I shared with him the incident, we had a good laugh.
Our loved for comics never die and we even talk like crazy kids even when we became working adults, and even after we had our own families. In our teen years, both our mothers could not understand us. sometimes we could talk late into the night and my mum had to come and ask me to go home. Later it became our wives' job to do that. As I could only afford to buy a few titles of my favourite comics , Rc would lend me his. He was quite a sucessful business man and could afford all his favourites titles.
Unfortunately my friend did not live long. He died on his 50th birthday. He would have been 61 this year had he lived. We would have much to talk about today, with all our super heroes making it to the big screen. The last we went to the movie to watch our super hero was when superman staring christopher reeves hit the big screen. We had those on VHS tapes back then as part of our collection.today it would be DVD or even Blu ray CD. I bet he will have his home system and I could watch it at his home and talk silly stuffs till our spouses remind us of the time. Some of our favourite hereos that made the big screen:-
*Captain America
* Iron Man
* Thor
* Superman
* Guardian of the galaxy
* Wonderwoman
* Black Panter
* Spiderman
* X-men
*Green lantern
* Flash(on tv)
*Fantastic Four
*Antman
Yes Rc would have love this era, and how I missed my best friend.
