When I was a kid, I loved comic books, back then comic books cost a dime. I liked all of the DC comics, Superman, Batman, the Flash, etc. But my favorite comic was Dennis the Menace. I thought that they were lost over the years until my mother passed over 20 years ago. Then ... there they were. We were in Wyoming, and she had all of that stuff. I didn't take all of those comic books except for one to represent all of the rest. I picked one at random, put it in plastic and still have it today.

Later in life, Calvin and Hobbes replaced Dennis the Menace as my favorite. I think the comic was genius and was disappointed when Bill Waterson stopped writing new ones.
