How much has your comic buying and reading changed over the years

[Captain underpants]

My comic buying and reading has changed several times in the past ten years or so I used to collect pocket library comics buying loads each month which ended up with 1000s of commando,war and battle comics many I never ended reading. I have spent many weeks sorting out my pocket library’s and are slowly selling off all the commando etc war type books but keeping the titles which I enjoy the most which are all non world war comics I found I even had over 60 star blazer doubles which will soon be up for sale. What has changed my habits is a new shop has opened 5 minutes walk from my house which has a area selling the latest and back issues of American comics all new bagged and boarded starting from £1 so it renewed my interest in American comics which never went away just got too expensive for a retired old fart. I must admit if I won big on the lottery I would buy TV21 , , , pow, wham, solo comics etc which I read as a child

Being a collector have periods where I source comics & annuals from my childhood. I then had a change of direction in the sense that I started collecting sci-fi & horror figure sets, especially with the 2005 reboot of Doctor Who when I had virtually every release from Eccleston to Smith and 99.9% classic Forbidden Planet exclusive sets and signed variants, but was forced to sell them all due to space issues. I then refocused my effort back to collecting comics again, mostly 1940s or earlier Beano & Dandy, and more recently original comic art as both were far easier to store that the hundreds of figure sets that I once owned, although I do still buy certain limited edition movie & TV horror figure sets like Salem's Lot, The Fog, Evil Dead and so on......
