It's an impressive size, and now they get use instead of sitting in the basement untouched for the next fifty years. :)

I've got news for you. If those comics are more than a few years old, they could be worth big bucks. I would find it hard to believe that boxes and boxes of comic books wouldn't contain at least a few rare ones. I suggest you search the web for comic book sites. You could be rich.
