I collected throughout the mid 80's and into the early 90's. Mostly Marvel and DC, but during that time the independent labels started to take off like Image and a few others. I had some mainstream stuff like G.I. Joe, X-Men, Wolverine, Spiderman, Punisher, Daredevil, Batman, etc.. I also branched out to some not so well known titles like Grips and Armor. I actually still have my collection in its entirety. I probably should take a look at the value of it according to today's market.
I haven't really kept up with the comic world in quite some time, but I do enjoy how superhero's are making a splash on the big screen. I also like shows on TV like The Walking Dead and Kevin Smith's new Comic Book Men on AMC.
