Anyone here read comic books?

I am 39 years of age, and Make Mine Marvel!

I started collecting as a kid, read Spiderman, DD, FF, Captain America, Avengers and the X-men. I slowed down quite a bit during my 20's, picked it up again about five years ago and now follow some writers and artists regularly. Today I picked up Supreme Power, New Avengers, Astonoshing X-Men and Ex Machina.
 
Marvel Comics- those were the days. X-Men, Fantastic 4, Spiderman, Avengers, Daredevil, Captain America, Ironman, SubMariner, The Incredible Hulk, Silver Surfer, Nick Fury Agent of Shield, Master of Kung Fu (remember Shang- Chi?) and all the rest. I' ve collected a lot of them and read them all. And stopped when each comic went up to $1.50!!! Big Difference from .10 and .12!!! Yeah, those were the days.

My all time favorite artist Wally Wood (RIP :( ) really showed his stuff in T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents! Fans will remember Dynamo, Lightning and NoMan.

Actually, they were mentioned a couple posts above. ;) I have read some of them, and they were excellent. I found them at the local public library once when I was a kid, and they must have been stolen, because I never could find them again. :(

Was once and still am a comic book geek. Today, my tastes run for the regulars (Batman, Superman, X-men) and the gritty stuff (100 Bullets, Transmetro). And, I tend to follow certain writers (Moore, Rucka, Bendis, Loeb and Stracynzski).

Nice to see other geeks around here.
