“My parents read the comics to me, and I fell in love with comic strips. I've collected them all of my life. I have a complete collection of all the "Buck Rogers" Sunday funnies and daily paper strips, I have all of "Prince Valiant" put away, all of "Tarzan," which appeared in the Sunday funnies in 1932 right on up through high school. So I've learned a lot from reading comics as a child.” ChildrenSchoolReadingParentPaperHigh SchoolComicI've LearnedCollectionsSundayBucksRogerValiantComic StripsBuck Rogers Author:Ray Bradbury
