i read dc bronze horror as a kid from finding ragged copies at yard sales etc.
15-20 years later, i am always on the lookout for nicer copies, and completing runs.
aside from that i actually love reading them! nerdy!
it seems to me that a lot of people don't know about them, and they aren't all that easy to come
by compared to marvel comics of the same era...but when people do see dc bronze horror, they seem to love the covers, leading to interest. the art on the inside can also be fantastic...one can just pick up an issue and read...you do not need to know characters or read the issue before or after (they don't make you fiend for the next issue for the conclusion) as superhero comics do...
i think these comics would appeal to new collectors for those reasons, but also the prices aren't
near silver and golden age... that is another reason i am (able to be) into them so much, aside from not really being interested in superheroes...
''- Currently, Vertigo aside, there are no high profile horror books being published on a regular basis.''
some of these may not be in an ongoing series, some may not be high profile (doesn't make them any less good) but there is plenty horror being published...
