So comics are generally broken down into a few 'ages'. The 'Golden Age' had its heydey in World War II, and lasted through the 50's, though social pressure really hurt the business then. The 'Silver Age' started in November of 1961 and ran through the early to mid 70's (the exact end is up for debate). Comics from those ages are generally going to (generally speaking) be worth something, more if they are in good or great condition, a lot more if they are the first appearance of a major character. The 'Bronze Age' then runs up to about 1990, and they (with only a few exceptions) are probably worth something as well. After 1990, the industry turned to s*** and only comic shops with a lot more space than inventory will even look at them.
Let us know what you find!

Yep, fortunately everything I'm interested in is modern, and I have no real interest in anything before the 90's, so collecting back issues is cheap for me.
