    Adults buying comics quietly kept that industry humming along through the 80s into now, which lead to a speculator bubble in the 90s that almost cratered the whole game. Think we'll see something similar in toys?

        Unfortunately, there aren't exactly a lot of books about the Comics Crash of 1996. Most of the history I know is relayed to me through people who were more cognizant of what was happening at the time or stuff I cobbled together from various websites. If you google "Comics Crash 1996" you'll find several breakdowns of what happened.
