MODERN FAMILY
May 7, 2014  | By David Bianculli

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

 

Among the stories in tonight’s episode are a squabble about the value of hand-me-down children’s clothing, and an attempt to cash in on the value of an old comic book – in particular, The Amazing Spider-Man #3, a vintage issue from the Sixties. Which reminds me: Somewhere out there is a guy named Randy Silverman, a former Florida resident and Nova High School graduate, to whom I sold my entire collection of Marvel Comics – a complete collection, at the time I sold it to him in seventh grade in 1967, for $75. My comics stash, at the time, included mint or near-mint copies of the first issues of The Fantastic Four and X-Men, and even the #15 issue of Amazing Fantasy, which introduced Spider-Man in 1962 just before he got his own comic. A copy of that Amazing Fantasy issue alone sold three years ago for $1.1 million. Randy, if you read this, I hope you’re happy. And wealthy.
