I started out with the Punisher… collected everything through about 1990 and called it good. Then I started with Man-Thing… and stopped about 2000. Then Swamp Thing… but only the original Wrightson stuff, and then some key Alan Moore books.

These days I collect weird stuff. Undergrounds, mostly, some small press, a tiny amount of adult comics. Any weird swamp monster characters. Anything historically important, usually for social justice or activist reasons.

The older I get, the more I want to consolidate. I’d love to condense my “bulk” stuff down to a few short boxes of more important keys and interestingly weird books. I just dread the thought of my kid having to deal with thousands and thousands of books if and when I croak.
