Read my post again 😜

I can imagine 🤣 It just falls into my definition of Pieta, is an early example and I like it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Foremost because comics are beautiful; literal art/culture. As we each like our own thing, I think it's important we each cultivate our own focus so more comics get preserved and, by extension, we keep a record of who we were. In thousands of years most comics will be dust without those like us. Find your kink; collect it. Splash out on keys when they cross your kink, but remember to save those books that nobody else may be looking at like you do. Without you and others like you, they'll fade to nothingness within a few generations or less. As for me, I love Lichtenstein. That's why I started. Never did I think that'd lead me to superheroes. I collect Pietas, which everyone has their own definition for. And Catwoman because she's Catwoman (need no reason). That's where I focus, although admittedly the Pietas are where I can best spread my eye and curate my own collection rather than ticking from a pre-determined list. I allow myself to stray a tiny little bit and am currently obsessed with Jim Aparo meets Tatyana Wood. Lines like physics; colour like the cosmos. Like BatB #161. So simple; bold. What elegance. BTW, if anyone wants to lend me a Catman #31... (certainly can't afford one)

When buying, I use a formula: grade claimed—4. When selling, I grade using money.
