`M-x eww RET
https://www.comichron.com/yearlycomicssales/postaldata/1968.html RET'

will open an eww buffer with the web page in question, but then that
buffer is killed, and a number of other buffers are killed, too.

I haven't investigated yet, but my guess is that there's an url.el
callback that is being triggered in the wrong buffer, or...  something.

For what it's worth, emacs-w3m opens the above site without issue.
