   Certainly. Still have a few boxes full of them.

   The demand for old issues will depend heavily on the title and the issues   
   you have. Even then, unless it is a very rare issue (not that many of   
   these really), don't expect to make a lot on it.

   You might have a better chance if you have full series that you can bundle   
   together and sell as a complete package. The trouble with selling odd   
   issues is that you end up with loads of odds and ends that nobody wants,   
   including you.
