So how did you start collecting?

As a young boy, my father would take me to the newsagency every Sunday when he got the paper, and would buy me either a comic or a Famous Monsters of Filmland. The first comic I ever received was Iron man 63, with Doctor Spectrum in it.

How many comics are in collection approximately?

I'd say between 3500 and 4000. I haven't put all my comics in the Stash yet, but am up to about 300 so far.

What do you like to collect?

I like comics from the 70s best, before crossovers and mega storylines took over, and perhaps comics were a little more innocent.

Which title/character is most found in your collection?

Either Power Man/ Luke Cage or The Punisher

So how did you start collecting?

The first time I got comics was when I was young, probably 11 or 12, when my grandmother brought home a small bag filled with books.  I can't remember all the issues that were in there, but that was when I got introduced to the Phantom, Spectre, a short lived series called Chrome, and X-Men.  I don't have any of those issues anymore, but I remember tearing through them like mad.  I can't remember how many times I read those issues over and over again.  Later that year, my mom and step-dad gave me and my brothers a few dollars.  We all went to a local Ice Cream Shop (one of those old ones straight outta the 50's!) and it was there that I bought the first two issues of my collection.  Fantastic Four #356 and Amazing Spider-Man #351.  I've been actively collecting ever since.

How many comics are in collection approximately?

Currently, I have 1,250 in my collection.  Everything I own is in my stash here and it grows by the week. 

What do you like to collect?

I love to collect Spider-Man.  I'm actively working on finishing off Web, and I think I"m 50 or so issues shy.  DC is starting to peek my interest, so I'm kinda sorta working on Batman and other DC titles.  I really enjoy finding below the radar type stuff too.

Definately Spider-Man.  After that would be my X-Titles.

I have info on me there. Here I go again. here is my previous post.

Oh boy, lets see, I started collecting in 91. I was here and there with issues.I collected mostly Spider-Man, I then got into spawn, and Misc. issues whenever.I was also big into the card series of marvel and whatever I could get my hands on. When the first series of Marvel's Fleer Ultra came out " WOW" I was in heaven. I had maybe a 150 comics by the end of that year. It waslike that forabout 3 years after. I quit collecting in late 95. I started again in 99 and collected for about a year, by collection was about 1500 (4 long boxes) by then. I stopped again. It wasn't till about 04 I started again and now I have been at it since then, I am getting older now(30) and comics and lasertag and finishing up on school (BA. in Education. Laid off last christmas) are my only hobbies. So, now I have been collecting Walking dead since issue five, Big time into Marvel, especially thunderbolts. Marvel is getting expensive, so I picked up a few issus of Green lantern and I have been getting it now for about 2 years. I love it. DC is more story, I like that. I have also been a huge fan of Harley Quinn, Captain AMerica. Thats about it. My collectionsis about 6000-6500 issues now.

So how did you start collecting?

The normal gateway Spider-man.

How many comics are in your collection approximately?

Green Arrow (Oliver Queen)

What is it about Green
Arrow that you find appealing?

I have always been a fan of Archery (Though I haven't
taken it up), and I have always loved Robin Hood which is
a reason why I like him because of his Robin Hood
likeness. His fight for keeping his city clean of crime.
Which is alot like Batman but I just fell in love with
the Green Arrow books fast. I like the mature conflicts
that are placed in the comic that people face today.

I will also add that the story and art is really good.

That what I like about it right now and have gotten out
of the ones I have read.

p.s. I read they are starting up a Green Arrow tv series
so

No way! Based off of Smallville?
