I collect comics.  I have for a lot of years.

My collection started around 1973 or so, when David Shoop foolishly gave me a stack of comics for reasons unknown.  He asked me for them back later.  Heh, sh'yeah, right.

Anyway, my comic collection was fairly static (aside from a fortuitous Giant-Sized X-Men #1 picked up during a family vacation to the Grand Canyon) until I hit college and, suddenly, had disposable income.

I've been disposing of it ever since.

In addition to the favorite comics listed above, there's a lot of "also-rans" on my list -- things I read regularly (for at least the last several months), but that I can't really, honestly put in my Hall of Fame.  These include:

Avengers, Thunderbolts, JLA, JSA, Green Lantern, Flash, Impulse, Fantastic Four, various X-titles (X-treme, New, Uncanny, Exiles), Black Panther, Detective, The Punisher, various Superman titles, Hellblazer, The Spectre, Captain America, Titans, Wonder Woman, Incredible Hulk, Out There, Green Arrow, Legion, Birds of Prey, Amazing Spiderman

I buy other stuff, too, but Reality, Sanity, and Financial Integrity has demanded I try, desperately, to reduce my "Gosh, I guess that's okay" class of comics.  

While there are some "alternative" comics on the list, I'm still a sucker for heroes in Spandex.  

I've got a copy of ComicBase which I'm inventorying my frighteningly large collection (there's a room in the basement dedicated to the Gorilla Racks and long boxes).  I'm way behind in the project, but ... well, Katherine wouldn't have to worry about college, if I ever actually sold the things.

I'm a card-carrying member of the Comic Books Legal Defense Fund.  If you enjoy comic books, you should be, too.

Some other links of note (and I am trying to keep these to a minimum, due to bit rot) are:
