Hello!
I've been on the board a few months, dipped my toes in a few others around the internets and found this one to be the most informative, so... thanks!
As a kid I grew up a major DC fan, really liked Tarzan, Korak, Kamandi, (I was a bit of an "excitable" boy and always related to the untamed side of those characters). Also liked Batman and Superman, but since everyone else also did, I used my Batman and Sup books as barter to acquire more Tarzans etc. which weren't as popular. So.... I never really acquired or held much Batman or Sups for very long.
Then I grew up and stashed all my comics... which most of them then got lost/tossed. BUT.... I did find a stash of late Silver/Bronze Marvels that I never really appreciated as a kid and so that got me restarted in comics focusing on Marvel now.
So I restarted my interest in comics as my son also started becoming interested, and I found I don't relate to the DC world as much anymore, but the Marvel world is my realm now! So most of my WELL-read DC books are pretty much garbage, but I'm taking my core of Silver/Bronze Marvels and starting to rebuild/retool my collection and am REAL excited about the Marvel Universe and so now I focus mainly Silver/Bronze Marvels. I am also using some of those to now acquire SS slabs for them too!
Anyhoot... Glad to find this board, I met a couple of boardies at recent cons last year and am really digging this forum. I'm learning a lot, and being amused a lot too! Some of you guys are a hoot!
