Well Method Man (WuTangClan) was hanging out at NYCC and I saw him pick up some books.

Someone on the board posted a picture of Kobe Bryant picking up some comics at an LCS. He tends to go for Moderns.

busta rhymes. he owns a copy of hulk 181

I heard Nicholas Cage likes comics.

 

 

Eric Roberts (not the actor). Serious books, serious $$.

 

 

[General Zod]

Daniel Dae Kim (Jin from LOST) apparently is one, too. He attended NYCC but wanted to avoid being mobbed, so someone found him a "V for Vendetta" mask to walk around in anonymity and peruse the comic booths.

Bill Mumy - LOST IN SPACE and TWILIGHT ZONE ("You're a bad man! A VERY bad man!") - http://www.billmumy.com/mumy/comics/

Seriously? Busta Rhymes I can see being into heavy duty characters like Wolverine.

Kirk Hammett of Metallica

Sebastian Bach

Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath (I saw him at WW Chicago in 1998 and got my picture taken with him.)

Glenn Danzig (Long-time collector before he started Verotik Publishing.)

[Korvac Saga]

Leonardo Dicaprio is apparently a Golden Age collector. Samuel L Jackson, Gene Simmons from Kiss, Sebastian Bach from Skid Row. Charlie Sheen sold his copy of Action Comics #1 App 6.5 about 6 years ago.

[Weird Paper]

I had a conversation with Ruben Blades once at SDCC. He's apparently a collector.

[Weird Paper]

DiCaprio's dad used to publish undergrounds, I think.

No mention of Scott "Not" Ian from Anthrax, Tony? Some metalhead/comic geek you are!

I had a conversation with Ruben Blades once at SDCC. He's apparently a collector.

 

I've been to his house and perused his collection. He loves Four Colors and has them all

 

I used to sell Jerry Buss a lot of golden age, especially Fiction House

 

Miguel Ferrer is a big collector too.

Daniel Dae Kim (Jin from LOST) apparently is one, too. He attended NYCC but wanted to avoid being mobbed, so someone found him a "V for Vendetta" mask to walk around in anonymity and peruse the comic booths.

 

 

That seems a little over the top....at NYCC he'd stand a better chance of being mistaken for Jim Lee...

 

There was more than one cast member from 30 Rock and the Office walking around the show. No need for masks either.

The drummer from System of a Down is a huge collector.

Howard Stern

Seth Green...

Brian Dawkins (Eagles Safety) is a HUUUUGGGGE Wolvie fan. Even calls himself "Weapon X". ESPN profiled him last year, with much focus on the comics aspect.

Daniel Dae Kim (Jin from LOST) apparently is one, too. He attended NYCC but wanted to avoid being mobbed, so someone found him a "V for Vendetta" mask to walk around in anonymity and peruse the comic booths.

 

Very cool story. (Couldn't he have just dressed up as Jin from "Lost" and people would have figured him for a comic geek?)
