Hi. I'm new around here, but I learned to read from Alex Toth's ZORRO run in 1957. I went on to become a New Wave comics artist/writer, and even got a mention in The Comics Journal once. In retirement, I'm doing comics again. Great time to return. No need to approach publishers. Publish it yourself.  My passion is Alex Toth and Alex Raymond. I'm an Alex guy, I guess. - David Greg Taylor

Hello all,

I have been a fan of Marvel for as long as I can remember, but more specifically the X-Men family of books.

For a long time, my brother and I could occasionally convince our dad to let us buy a comic book from the spinner rack, at one of the local drug stores; the bad part of this being that there was never a time when we managed to get 2 issues (of any book) in a row.

When we finally found a local comic shop, the very first book I bought was Uncanny X-Men #181, Young Dragons In Love!

Since then, while I always buy new X-Men books, I also bought some of this, and that.

I've gotten to the point (at 48) that I am focusing on eventually getting the entire Uncanny X-Men (volume 1) run. I have (give or take) half of the books that will make me feel like I've accomplished my goal, including the GEM of my collection (currently being slabbed) Giant Size X-Men #1!!

Welcome @Thejeweler & @smodcastfan to the best place for the “unvarnished” truth about all things related to comics. :angel::devil:

Greetings to all on the boards. My name it Matt and I have been lurking here for a little bit getting a gauge on the place and finally decided it was time to say hello. I'm a big fan of 90's VALIANT as they were on the rise when I first found comics at that time and also the Image creators.  I love the wealth of knowledge this place has. Thank you for having me.

Welcome Matt! Lurk no more! I have a few nice Valiant books, mostly early Magnus, Solar and Rai. I just got back Solar #10 in 9.8 from CGC!

Love the avatar!

Awesome and Welcome! Some Bloodshot news today, I might make it in to a pre-screen to see the movie today! :banana: Should be good, and hoping for a good turn out, despite the world's fears over the coronavirus. Should be an exciting day, welcome to the boards, many a Valiant fan here.

Hi everyone!

I'm Tyler, and I'm addicted to collecting Marvel things. I have a relatively small collection right now, roughly 300 comics, but just purchased my first 2 slabs today. Made the decision a few months ago to start really getting into collecting and getting more involved with the community. My main characters are Deadpool and Thanos, but every now and then like buying random stuff to see what I like. I'm definitely one of those collect what I love rather than looking only for grail books, it's more fun for me that way.

Anyway, nice to meet you all!
