Comic books were ten cents for Marvel and twelve cents for DC in the early 60s. I was paid fifty cents an hour for babysitting in the middle 60s. McDonald's hambergers were 7 for a dollar. in the early sixties.

You mean 10-20 today in 1960, or 10-20 in 1960 today? What country are you in, and at what rate of inflation?

The average rate of inflation in Canada during this time is 4.3%. 20/hour in 1960 would be about $140/hour today. Around $2.88-$2.89 / hour would be about $20.00/hour today.
