Being a Collector of comic books for 32 years has been the one constant in my life. comics are my first love. I like the fact that you can take an adventure to any palace or anytime, as soon as you look at the page. In a Comic book you can explore the depth of the Sea or the Depth of Human emotion, at the same time in word and picture form. There is unlimited potential in the World of Comics. The places that I could never visit, and only imagine, I have been to in between the pages of comics. From Planet Krypton to Tokyo.
Living in NYC as a Teen was the most fun of all being a comic book fan. The fact that the MARVEL UNIVERSE is centered around New York City,& characters like Spiderman & Daredevil lived with in my neighborhood, made it even more real as a fan. There is even an issue of SPIDERMAN going to a store I used to visit as a child. The I used to love going to the comic book store every Wednesday to get the latest issue. I still do. One of the greatest times of my life was getting to meet Stan "THE MAN" Lee, even if he did tell me he had no time to talk. He walked away. It was still thrilling to meet him after 4 years of trying. I have met so many good People who are now close friends , because of my love of Comics.
I learned to be more out going. I even put on a superhero costume during convention season.
Learning how to draw has always been a hobby of mine. Soon I hope to turn that talent into a Comic Book of My Own. There is a saying, "Never meet your Heroes".Some say it can be a bad thing , but in my case the opposite is true. I have met just about every single one of my favorite Writers,Artist,& Editors over the years .Each one of them has been a pleasure.
The fact that Adults can sit in a room all day , sometimes to their own detriment to create worlds of fantasy for the World to enjoy is amazing . Taking a pen or computer & creating these places from nothing but a blank page. To take lines shapes & text into a " LIVING" believable person to millions of people is the next best thing to godhood. I love comics on paper or in digital form I hope they stories in comics form live on forever.
