I collected comics back in the day. I never was a big Marvel or DC fan, mainly collected more underground type stuff. I have a few nice graphic novels too, a set of hardcover color Akira books I picked up at a flea market for $25 a piece and later saw them selling (when I could find them) for $100+ each.
My favoraite stuff now is the Heavy Metal mag artists, like Richard Corben. Unfortunately usually either a) the story is good or b) the art is amazing, but rarely both.
When I started using ebay I almost went on a comic book buying spree. Now I don't search anything related to comics
