I grew up with comics. As a very young kid, I wandered into my attic, and found a BIG box of my dads comics. It was a treasure trove...old Gold Key Solar Man of the Atom, Magnus Robot Fighter, Thor, X-Men, Avengers, Dr. Strange etc, etc. I read, and re-read this mountain of greatness many times over, learning more as I went.
Fast forward a few years, and I start buying my own comics at a local shop (that actually STILL exists). It's slow going as even back when comics were a LOT cheaper, $ was also harder to come by as a kid. I mainly stick with the X-Men titles until the late 80's/early 90's. Marvel's reboot is ON. SO many variant issues (X-Men, Spiderman, X-Force)...then the Marvel Masterpiece card line comes out...I can't get enough. Slowly but steady, the growing variant craze, story arcs that run loner/include more series, prices climbing, the start of Valiant, and Image just spread the time/$ WAY to thin...and I drop out of comics.
My newest issue was from the Battlestar Galactica (1997-1998) by Realm...and even then I only got issue 4 of 5. Life moved on and comics completely fell by the wayside.
