Ooo~ veddy interesting. I have to agree that probably in general comics wouldn't be considered ephemera, but you could make a very strong argument for it - both for the cheap older comics, and now with the internets we tend toward keeping things digitally vs. easily damaged paper comics. I personally consider the single issue comics I buy to be disposable and only really retain trades. Hm~ and the comic book shop I frequent gives out free 'throw away' comics all the time when you buy stuff.

So, yeah :) Good luck with sorting it all out! :)
