Earl, you have by far the most wide-ranging comic collecting interests I've seen. What guidelines do you follow? Do you go for whatever takes your fancy? Trying for a little bit of everything maybe? Whatever it is, I say more power to you. I'm always guaranteed to see something interesting in your thread, so keep with the good works.Thanks for the comments. I like to juxtapose ultra completionism of some titles/publishers/genre's with a representation of something from every country/publisher/era and genre. I want my collection to resemble more of an archive than a collection.
So I am trying to get every DC from 1970 to 1985, every 2000 AD (there are over 1500 of them), all the Ruperts, the Tintins, the X-Men. And then throw in a few samples from all the 100+ countries of the world, something from every publisher, a strong Golden Age collection, a sampling of undergrounds, all the critically acclaimed graphic novels, newspaper comic collections, manga, Classics, Modern indies etc, etc, etc.
