Here's the full text as lifted from Blender's recent feature. Gotta love the Batman t-shirt & cape!“How To Start A Comic Book Collection”
1. Get Inspired: “Browse a store and see what artist or stories inspire you or what heroes appeal to you. My biggest connection is with Batman. He’s a dark dude: he has women trouble: he may or may not have been a drunk. I can identify with those things.”
2. Get A Subscription: “See what’s working for you, then get a subscription. Decide whether you’re going to get copies to read or you’re going to be collecting to finish a series. Only very popular series get to the point where back issues are extraordinarily expensive.”
3. Get To A Sale: “Most flea markets, yard sales and antique dealers usually have a stack of comics that have been thumbed through only once or twice. You never know, you might find a jewel like Batman No. 68, and go, ‘Oh my God, I’m going to buy a mansion!’”
4. Get Protection: “Buy plastic sleeves to protect the books from dust, spills and tearing, and cardboard backs to protect their spines. And get storage boxes. Once you have enough comics to fill a box, you know you’re in-the infestation has taken hold.”
