When I was coming up, I kept a ton of comic books, almost 300 comic books. Back in the day, they didn't used to cost that much, so I used to keep 'em, collect 'em, trade 'em.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I used to collect comic books. I had a substantial collection. I collect records also, but those have gone the way of the world.
I'd been familiar with comics, and I'd collected 'em when I was a kid, but after I got into junior high school, there wasn't much I was interested in.
We probably put about four or five comic books out a year and probably about two or three art books and various trade paperbacks - maybe four or five of those a year - and that's what we do now.
I collected X-Men, Spider-Man, and Daredevil comics. I definitely had a few Captain America comics lying around in those protective plastic baggies.
I don't buy comics anymore, for the most part. I eat my lunch off of them.
I still collect comics. I still have a great love and respect for the genre.
My brother had boxes of comic books. He was really the collector.
I'm a huge comic book collector. When I was a kid, I had both Marvel and DC. I was my own librarian. I made card files. I had origin stories of all the characters, and cross-referenced when they appeared in other comic books. I was full on.
I've keep every comic I've bought in my life. I used to be obsessive about boarding and bagging them all.
I have 15,000 comics in a warehouse, all bagged individually.
