Comics

The art of graphic storytelling has been through a renaisaance in the US over the last twenty odd years, and has never lost popularity in much of the rest of the world.

I have somewhere around thirteen thousand comics of various vintages, stretching back to cartoons from before the First World War and including Silver Age US and British comics, with the bulk of my collection coming from the Chris Claremont/John Byrne X-Men period and after, up until about 1996 where I reduced my comic purchasing considerably. I still buy a few comics irregularly and pick up works by specifc authors such as Alan Moore.

My collection covers a broad range of pop cultures from manga by Masumune Shirow, through Europeans such as Jean Giraud and Moebius, and including many non-mainstream US comics, such as the works of Robert Crumb, Matt Howarth, etc.

I hope to be able to expand this site to cover some of those comics, artists and authors that I particularly admire. But there are so many!
