Collecting comics is a lot like collecting records, only they are a little less strenuous to move (just a little).
They take up a lot of space, a lot of folks wonder what the hell you’re doing with them, and they inspire intense, all-encompassing nerd talk. Debating early Stax and Motown is like Marvel vs DC, saying you only read autobiographical indie “comix” is like saying you’re only into crust punk 7″ records, and worshiping at the altar of Grant Morrison is kinda like picking up everything Kurt Ballou produces.
See you at the Avengers premiere. I’ll be the dude in the Hold Steady shirt.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Read Record Heat every Monday (well, normally) on Up on the Sun.
