I haven't bought a comic book in nearly fifteen years. I haven't even pulled one of my boxes out of the closet in 3 years(and that was just to move them from 1 house to another). I still found this thread very interesting.
I had been collecting comics from the time I was about 6 years old when my cousin gave me a milk crate filled with about 100 ratty books. Inside where a bunch of X-men from the 70's. Just as I got hooked on the stories, I reached the bottom of the box. I needed to finish the stories which led to my first venture into a comic book shop.
I remember not eating lunch 1 day a week at school, just so I could buy an X-Men back issue. It was FUN. After about 15 years(early 90's), I got burned out and packed them away.
Kinda weird, reading this thread makes me remember when comics were fun and not an investment. I almost have an urge to hunt down a local comic shop and try to catch up on what I missed the past 15 years or so.
