I find that most people in my life have at least one “thing” they are collecting. It is often an insight into their personality and it is fun to hear people talk about something they are passionate about.

    Comic books. I learned to read when I was 2, but there wasn’t a ton of reading material for 2 year olds.

    Back then, comic books were only a quarter and soooo… 52 years later…

    The big one:

    I also run the comic books community on lemmy.world. Pop by and say hello!

        I didn’t, but the video is kind of strange for me because from at least the 80s forward everyone knew who Carl Barks was. There were compilations under his name and all sorts of reprints and such.

        Bonus: At the end of his life, he lived like 80 miles away from me. (!)

      What an awesome collection! Funny question, but do you by any chance have these backed up? Personally would be so scared that anything of the physical copies would be damaged or ruined by a house fire for example… Guess I’m a little paranoid 😅
