Hi,
I'm taking the plunge and introducing myself after lurking around for a while. I'm Jesse and I'm from London, England but a few years back moved to live and work in Dubai.
I remember my Dad buying me my first comic books when I was about 4 years old, Batman, Flash and some Worlds Finest books. I remember the Worlds Finest book being some sort of Christmas edition. And the Batman issue had a Fat-Man character in it! That can't be right can it??
From then on I discovered the British reprints of Marvel Comics and Spidey was, and still is, my favourite character. I used to love the hardback annuals which reprinted an array of Spidey stories and I still have many of them dating back to 1974. My favourite cover is AMS #151.
Moving to Dubai was a big challenge, one of them being no comic book stores selling single issue books. Dubai has some great stores that sell TPBs and everything else and the Comic Con out here is getting crazy big. So I get my books shipped over, not cheap but what the hey.
I'm fairly new to the grading world and recently got back some nice ASM's that I got signed by Stan Lee.
I'm here to connect with other collectors and get tips and advice on collecting and maintaining my collection. I'm a collector that hasn't really got into the collecting community so I'm hoping I can start now.
Look forward to connecting.
