I also used to cut out the figures ... and play with them like action figures .. and I would draw over the scenes making up new scenes ... I remember Green Lantern used to get really butchered.
but this is way worse ....... I was over my friends house in junior high, watching tv, and i saw him cleaning out his nails with the edge of a comic book cover (gross!) I promptly asked him if i could have all his comic books, (he said i could have them before)
Now that I think about it, maybe I shouldn't have got them ... who knows what he did with them !
This is the one I saw him cleaning his nails on:
It's beautiful, and the story is great! Why would someone clean out their finger nails with this????
So ... maybe this isn't real a *crime* story but more more of a *rescue* story. oopsie.

I did make a couple of paper hats from comics. I did use quarter box comics though.

Carbon paper...lots of carbon paper. Copied my favorite Legion drawings from the Earthwar saga. Since replaced those copies a long time ago.

A crime to some...an awesome way to read comics for me.
I've certainly wanted to rip out those second advertisement stories or the huge multi-page ads with super heroes pimping productS. I hated buying a thick comic and then when i get home its not extra story but pages of extra advertisement!!!!!
Power Boy SMASH!!

I think my worst crime, because of quantity of crime not quality, is i never bag and board my comics. I just pile them high on a book shelf ... which leads to some minor bending ....
I have most in boxes, but again not with bags and boards, so there might be some lean and bending. Also, the boxes are just stacked on top of each other ...

If not bagging and boarding is a crime, then I've been guilty for 40 years. I just keep mine in boxes and 97% look good as new. The other 3% were from my younger days when I had more time to reread comics.

Over the years there have been some incidents where the tape on the plastic (for bagging) rips up the cover a little bit. There is only one notable one though, a crime I committed at age 16 or so: I screwed up the cover of a newly purchased Giant Sized X-Men #1.
I can't even bring myself to reread it, the memory is too painful. I felt guilty for weeks and weeks.
