Comic Collecting 101

Devoted to the fun and exciting world of collecting comic books. Comic flipping/investing is an afterthought here!

I know I haven't posted for a while. I've been keeping an eye on this COVID-19 stuff and trying to determine how it's affecting our hobby. In the case of new comics, the pandemic has made a market already on shaky ground even more vulnerable. Not sure if it'll survive. Thoughts?

[Alan W. Wright - #WeAreCharlieKirk @wrialhuden]

In honor of #NationalComicBookDay I thought it would be fun to post our favorite comic book covers. They don't have to be keys necessarily; just covers that appeal to you. I'll go first!

Hero Initiative helps creators going through difficult times financially. Even if you're not a comics fan, please give if you are able! Thank you! #comics #comicbook #ComicArt

@acetiCsmoG @SierraWhiskey9 Someone's going to write a term paper discussing the politics of Archie Andrews and the potential consequences involved in choosing between Betty or Veronica...

I went to a local comic shop about a week ago and walked by the new comics section. Selection was sparse, of course. Also walked by several comic boxes filled with recent comics marked 45 percent off. So can this be blamed on COVID, lack of quality control by publishers, or both?

Bottom line - it's the readers the creators have to answer to! They're the ones spending the money...

[Mike Baron @BloodyRedBaron]

This is the funniest comic ever written. Not puns or jokes. Gut-busting humor that will make your head explode. When you finish, you will shove it into the hands of your friends and say, "You have got to read this!" #Floridaman #comics #gators https://t.co/dXYkZS4sa2

Not to mention that sales are poor overall. Will more personnel at DC and other publishers be given pink slips in the coming months? And what will this mean for the comic book industry as a whole?

[Bleeding Fool @BleedingFool]

It's now confirmed that co-publisher Dan DiDio was fired from DC Comics this past Friday morning by Warner Bros., for cause, and for ‘fostering a poor work environment’. While many celebrated the sudden news, @AviGreen1 warns that DC has a long way to go: https://t.co/KV1k2xPTAt
