Hello everyone , my name is John . Hail from Alberta Canada . I got back into collecting about 5 years ago after a 20 plus year break (Yep just turned 50 a few months back ). To raise a family and all . I had about 2000 books prior to break and recently passed 5500 books . I am a big fan of Iron man title ( got every issue since may 68 ) and Conan which is close to a 1/3 of my collection . Now that the kid is moved out was able to set up a room for my collection . I enjoy reading ever book I buy . Big fan of Sword and Sorcery . Most of my collection is Marvel at 4194 books and dc at 875 with indies coming in at 426 . I have no real direction when collection I see something I like read a couple of issues then some times collect the set . Like I am currently doing with Master of Kung Fu had a few issue from when I was a kid a just re read them and now only need 13 issues to complete . My current series I am working on are Master of Kung Fu (13) Savage Sword of Conan marvels (11) Marc Spector's Moon Knight (2) .

No sweat. Although I'm not really Jack. I just use my CoH main's name on Facebook to avoid local people I no longer have contact with. I'm still the same old Steven Pott Paradox has always been. |
