\nWell it\u2019s been a while and I am going to make an attempt to resurrect this blog. I\u2019ve decided to give it a theme and that theme will be comic books that I am reading.<\/p>\n

I have been reading and collecting comic books for the last 25 years or so. Although I was aware of and read American comics as a child, I did not have the funds or access to a regular supply outlet to follow series so it was often a frustrating experience. Instead I read the weekly British comics \u2013 the best of which was 2000AD which I started reading from issue 1. But when the specialist comic book shops started to appear in the main cities in Scotland I was there with open wallet.<\/p>\n

I took a break from comic reading in the early part of this century when my two sons came along and I could no longer justify the expense. But in the last couple of years I\u2019ve started picking up a couple of titles and buying a lot of collected editions of stuff that I have missed.<\/p>\n

When I was buying comics I almost exclusively bought DC comics and then most of those were published on the Vertigo imprint. That probably tells you most of what you need to know about my taste \u2013 even my favourite superhero isn\u2019t super-powered! \u2013 current favourites are Fables, DMZ, Unknown Soldier, Hellblazer and Madame Xanadu. As a consequence of this a lot of the books I am picking up are from Marvel because there is far more in their catalogue that I am unfamiliar with.<\/p>\n

Anyway we\u2019ll see how it goes \u2013 I might get bored with it after a couple of months. I welcome any comments as the posts start to appear and any recommendations will be gratefully received \u2013 though I have a fairly big backlog of books to read at the moment with more on the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
