My goal is for a complete collection of 'Squirrel Girl' comics to be equivalent to a C.S. bachelor degree. Now there's a comic that increases in value!
It got to the point in the late 70s and early 80s that I was spending so much money buying golden age comics that I could only justify it if I got work in the media.
The movies have made the comic books much more valuable and more respected.
I'm a big believer that if you buy a comic, you ought to own it.
My brother had boxes of comic books. He was really the collector.
I have 15,000 comics in a warehouse, all bagged individually.
When I was coming up, I kept a ton of comic books, almost 300 comic books. Back in the day, they didn't used to cost that much, so I used to keep 'em, collect 'em, trade 'em.
You start to get nervous when the value of a comic book or graphic novel is relative to the achievements of some other medium.
