Adding to the collection.

I collect comics, action figures and super hero trading cards. I first started my collection in 1989. The majority of my stuff is Green Lantern. Last Saturday in Louisville KY they had the Derby City Comic Con. Darryl Banks the artist for a Green Lantern run from 1994 - 2001 was at the convention.
I was able to pick up several back issues I was missing from a few different titles and got Mr Banks to autograph 3 GL issues that I got. I also purchased (2) 11 x 17 digital copies and got these autographed.

Pretty great haul if I do say so myself. I only have 15 more issues to collect and I will have the complete 183 issue 3rd series of Green Lantern. I missed a few here and there. This series went from 1989 - 2004. There have actually been 2 more Green Lantern runs started since.

Wow, a complete v3? I'm impressed, some of those can't possibly be easy to find anymore. Which is a shame because there was some great stories, especially in the late 90s. I recall one where Kyle and Jade went to this planet in the midst of civil war and they eventually left because there was nothing they could do.

Well folks, if you ever wanted a thread with the two biggest Green Lantern fans on TTLG talking about their favorite green-suited ring-wearing lamp-carriers in one place, you just got it. Had to happen sooner or later.

...I've got the first 8 issues of The Maxx and the first 20 odd issues of Spawn in near mint condition. A friend of mine gave them to me because he owed me money or something back in the mid-late 90's. I threw them into a few manila envelopes and have barely looked at them since.

So I guess I could join in on this conversation, cuz hey...I do have some semi rarish comics.

Oh right... Well my comic collection is pretty much built from my Japanese study, so I've got a lot of Lupin III in the original Japanese, and some kid's manga (Doraemon & One Piece) because they always spell out the kanji. Other than that I've got some Blade of the Immortal, Beck, Akira, Full Metal Alchemist, Ah My Goddess, and Cerebus.

I'm a reader, not a collector. Despite my having gone through, what is it now, 23 years of DCU continuity in 18 months, most of the comics I actually own are Batman TPBs, namely Long Halloween/Dark Victory, Arkham Asylum and The Dark Knight Returns (which is awesome when you're 22 but not so much when you're 30) plus one or two others, plus about half of the Transmetropolitan TPBs. I have a very old stack of very beat up Sonic comics from when I was a kid but I don't even look at those anymore.
