Am I the only one? Am I the only oddball?
Where do I fit in the world of comic collectors?
Like many of you, I read. I read a lot. I read comics, but I also read history and science and a whole lot of other things. But here's a list of the things that do not interest me at all:
Harry Potter
Lord of the Rings
The Hobbit
Walking Dead
Zombies
Vampires
Dark things in general
Goth
Sword and sorcery in general
Magic (or Magik for that matter)
Star Wars
Star Trek
any other Spacey series
Modern comics
Anime
Mutants
Graphic novels
Figurines
I grew up reading comics in the 70's, and I like comics from the 40's to the 70's. Maybe some in to the 80's, but not much after that. I haven't seen many of the comic character movies that have come out, and the ones I have seen I mostly didn't like. I kinda liked the first Spiderman movie. The first Fantastic Four movie was ok. Captain America and Iron Man were ok. But, none of them were films that I crave sequels on, and in many cases, have never seen the sequels of.
I don't care for comic book conventions. Mainly because most of the people I've met are pretty much into everything on my list of things I don't care for, and most of the stuff I've seen tends to lean in that direction. So, I do most of my buying online or at comic shops.
Believe it or not, I am not anti-social. I actually love talking comics with collectors. Just not new comics. And not any of the other stuff that surrounds the comic industry. Am I the only one like this?
