After receiving numerous requests seeking advice about comics collecting, I crafted this column to answer many of the questions. Within, you will find information on comics' history, how to store, preserve and care for your collection, a guide on grading and evaluating the value of your comics, buying and selling, pop-culture conventions; and Spider-Bob's reading habits. If you don't find the answers you seek, feel free to contact me and I'll add it to the litany of topics - or clarify an article that may have been less than concise. I hope you find this advice useful, and keep on collecting.
