Well, I’ve been reading comic books since the early 1970s. The first comic I ever bought cost 20 cents. I’ve seen trends come and go, and paradigms shift and stay. I would estimate I’ve owned upwards of 50 thousand comic books in my life, although my collection is considerably more modest now. I just don’t have the room for anything except those titles which really ignite my imagination and fuel my desire for MORE, MORE, MORE!
