EVEN ROCKS ERODE OVER TIME, BUT NOT SO YOU'D NOTICE...

Copyright DC COMICS

I've got several issues of the above SGT. ROCK Special series, but for some unknown reason, issues 4 & 6 eluded me at the time.  I'm not sure exactly how many issues of this series there were, but, without digging through a filing cabinet to check, I think the last one I bought was either #8 or 9.  After 30 years, I've finally acquired 4 & 6 on ebay, and it's hard to believe that it's been my intention to track them down for three decades now.  It seems like only yesterday since they were first published, but it was - gasp - half my life away.  Can someone explain to me just how that's possible?  I'm sitting typing this at the same table in the same room where the issues I do own have been since I first bought them, and I have absolutely no sense of the immense gulf between then and now - it just seems so recent.

Another example of the complexity and perplexity of time, which never ceases to amaze me.  Now all I have to do is find out how many more issues I need to complete the set.  Anyone know?
