Description

Time went on and the number of titles I read grew. In junior high and high school, I met others who shared my passion for graphic storytelling (AKA "comics"). We'd enjoy hitting the local comic shop on Wednesdays after school, we'd lend comics to each other and invariably get into heated "Marvel vs DC" arguments. Of course, I always won the arguments. Well, for the sake of this being posted on my site, at least. The collection grew and I graduated high school. I moved out of my folks house, went to college, got a couple of jobs and then the dreaded event happened that occurs to many people at that age. My passion for comics began to wane. Coupled with lack of money (I had two jobs, sometimes more, but was trying to pay for college all by my lonesome) and the comics boom of the early '90s, fewer and fewer books appealed to me and I had less and less money to buy the ones I did like. So my weekly trip to the comic shop became a bi-weekly trip, then a monthly trip, then stopped all together. I still read the comics in my collection but wasn't as into it as I once was. I had friends, school, girls (gasp!) and a million other things to occupy my time and limited funds. I graduated college, got a job and a cozy little one bedroom apartment. I bought a car and began to assume my "adult" lifestyle. But something was nagging at me, something I couldn't put my finger on. Life was pretty good...
