I’ve been collecting comics off and on since I was a pre-teen in the early 90’s. I think I had less than 100 books up until about 2013 when I got back into collecting comics. I fell out of the hobby for about 4 more years and got back into it pretty hardcore in 2017 or so and have been pretty consistently involved since then. During the pandemic I learned that there was an entire community of comic collectors on YouTube that made videos about collecting. It was pretty great at first, but over time, I started to realize that a lot of them leaned right. Then more time passed and I realized it was more than a lean. After the most recent election, a lot of YouTube comic book videos became overtly political in support of this shit we’re currently enduring. The people that lean left don’t seem to say anything against it. I no longer watch YouTube comic videos, but I still collect comics. I just do it as a solo hobby once again.
I’m a tiny collector but I almost exclusively do european stuff from the seventies to the nineties (Moebius, Metal hurlant, all the goofy stuff too like Philemon).
I mean if you collect like the Hulk I guess you’re in another mindset. No judgement! I love Scott Campbell for example :-)

What kind of comics do you collect?

I collect Uncanny X-Men Vol. 1, Indie’s and Comix primarily. Big fan of Claremont, and a big fan of Robert Crumb… wires must have been crossed.
