Liam practically vibrated with energy as he listened to the reading of the will. He had inherited his cousin's vintage comic book collection - a childhood dream come true. He felt a light feeling in his stomach.

After a quick goodbye, he rushed to his cousin's house, his mind racing with images of rare issues and valuable finds. The door to the attic was unlocked. He threw open the door. The attic was dark and dusty.

He began opening the boxes. Inside were the comics. But as he looked deeper, he found a separate collection - an original hand-drawn comic book. It told the tale of their family. He couldn't stop smiling.
