Any COMIC BOOK fans?
 

HEY LOT,

I was just wondering if there is any COMIC BOOK readers on the LOT. I am a big DC fan, but grew up in Marvel household. Any current readers on the LOT?

Because "52" rules!

I'm not the biggest comic book fan, but I know we have at least one or two hiding around here somewhere... one of whom I bumped into at Comicon. However, she's a busy gal - she only pops around here once in a while.

Uh oh...

All right...prepare to hand over the 2007 Golden Pocket Protector award to yours truly here. :D

I am an avid collector of comic books, but not so much the super hero type books.

I read and collect Archie comics. (As if you couldn't guess already from the screenname, right?)

But, a lot of you probably don't know that Archie comics were instrumental in my being able to read circles around the other first graders in my class, and saved me from living life as an illiterate. While it was fun to see Archie and Reggie fighting over Veronica, I also increased my word power (Take THAT, Reader's Digest), and had a lot of laughs along the way.

Although, since I started reading them back in March of '87, I've amassed a ton of comics...My current count is well over 1,600 books. :D

Now, where's my Golden Pocket Protector Award? I have to thank Dilton Doiley, Bill Gates and the cast of Beauty and the Geek! :cool:

To be honest, ever since they started collecting comics into graphic novels, I've hardly picked up any single issues. I was burned once too often. It's like getting involved in a great TV show and having it canceled before the season is through.

Has 52 been collected yet? If so, I might swing by my local shop and pick it up...

Oh I will have to take that award from you. My collection is in the range of around 100,000. :cool:

52 hasn't been collected yet. Its ok. Not a great story IMHO.

Uh...um...ah...okay...you win...:blush:

*knocks out Bornieo with Urkel's secret cheese wheel and steals the award*

Hmm, how good an award could that be anyway? ;)

Total X-Men fan as a kid. Loved comic books.
