Hello there!

My name is Szabolcs - Hungarian name -, a graphic designer for years, and just getting into 3D modelling.

I'm an absolute newbie to comics. I started collecting a few months ago, and right now I'm only searching for Star Wars books, because that's what I'm interested in. I was always curious about comics, always liked to collect things, but as a kid I couldn't afford much, so I guess I'm compensating it now. (Who knows, maybe my next hobby will be buying super expensive lego kits, or wh40k figures...) I already made some bad purchases (and some really great ones too), so I'm on the way of learning. 

My avatar sums me up pretty much, but generally I consider myself as a cheerful person. My first post went in a wrong topic, so I hope I'm at the right place now
Have a nice day everyone!  

Welcome!!!

New here. First post is over in the Albedo #1, Albedo #2 Club thread.   Here: --> Albedo #1 & #2 Club

Have had the collection put away for 38 years, but the Netflix Usagi release compelled me me to pull the short boxes out of storage (that and retirement having finally given me the time to deal with 15 boxes of boarded and bagged books).

Welcome 😀 have fun sorting rebagging and boarding!

Sending to cgc should be a breeze to navigate links in a post so easily, and on the first try!

Shortcuts you will find - baby Yoda 😂

I'm halfway ribbing, but great back issue to want to dig out! Glad you found it!

What up comic fans. Long time lurker/collector here. My name's Andrew and first off let me start off by saying I love collecting comics of ALL ages ( Exmpl: Gold, Silv, Copper etc. if the price is right of course). I usually collect Vf/NM comics. I'm a self taught grader/artist (Well yes I can draw....stopped about 20 years ago lol). I consider grading fun. Why ? The thread that had "guess the grade" always had me test my grading abilities. I'd get SOME correct. I'd say 8/10 but still, I always enjoyed that topic. When I find comics/keys, My grading/condition technique has always been "Spine first, and then go outward on the rest of the book". Anyways, I'm just here to chat and talk comics after all it is a hobby right? I currently collect raw books as I dont have a lot of disposable income on getting books slabbed LOL !! I'm also tech savvy and hope to post some pics and other stuff later on as well. In the meantime, Hope you all have a safe holiday !!! Laters !!

Hi. My name's Imran. Everyone who knows me calls me by my surname Haji.

I am a huge comic book fan and have been reading since I was a little boy. I've always collected comics but only recently really got into graded comics. I dropped off my first 5 to be graded at MCM Comic Con London a couple of days ago. This included Kamala Khan's first ever full appearance. 

I'm particularly interested in Muslim representation in comics and run some social media channels focussing on that. Looking forward to getting involved with the CGC community! 

Thanks all.

Welcome Andrew! Would love to see some of your artwork. We've got a thread here in Comics General for art forum members have done. We've got some talented members. 

[Strange-Avatar]

Thanks for the kind words guys. There's also the "spare a grade" thread I believe. I hope one day to post some of my "wares" on some of the "in your collection threads as well." Well, off to the newbies section I guess . LOL !

Hello Everyone,

My name is Jack. I recently just got into collecting comics because I’m a big fan of the cover art and of course the stories. My coworker recommended me to join these CGC forums he’s been a member for 20 years. I look forward to learning as much as possible about comics while purchasing and selling some along the way. Excited to interact with all of you
