Just curious but has there ever really been a "comic book bubble" that has burst in the last 30 years and if so how long did it last, 6 months? Seems to me that any bubble would result in a buyers market that would just heat up the market/interest and prices again in no time.

 

1993-2000 was a bust

 

1993-1997 were some of the biggest growth years for SA and GA comics, so I'm not sure what you were monitoring. Record highs were happening at every show and every auction in those years. The latter couple years of that decade had a slowdown not the middle part.

I remember stagnation. But I wasnt buying, just observing. Perhaps my opinions of the market were inaccurate.

All I remember of the 1990s is that I was younger, life was sweeter, and the '49ers won their last Super Bowl.

Only because the art and stories were terrible, no movies, no proper marketing of the industry because ownership of Marvel at that time could careless. I think we are way past that stage even though I think that the current art and stories [generally speaking] is horrific.
