I Love Comic Books

Discovering My Love For Superheroes!

Hello, my name is Arif Erdogan, I live in South yorkshire and I am 14 years-old.
Around 6 months ago I sat down and realised something was missing in my life (I was 13 at the time) I play football for school and enjoy athletics, I also love books and other things but I realised there wasn't a hobby that was 'me' everyone in the family had one, my oldest sister was the 'Bitchy' one, my other sister was the adventurous type, my OTHER sister is the party type, my brothers the technology geek whilst i was just 'Arif' I regularly play Xbox and 3DS but that bores me. So, one day I googled hobbies, I came across comic books, I'd always known about superheroes, when I was youngster, teen Titan and the batman were amongst my favourite cartoons. Armed with £10 I marched to Whsmith and bought 3 comics. I never turned back.

    Comics are among the coolest of art forms I think. It's written words, but with picture art too, I mean, just about perfect. I got into comics around the age of 10, mostly Batman stuff. The first series' I collected were Robin and Spider-man 2099. I had/have a huge crush of the Tim Drake Robin. I don't think I've gone a month without buying a comic since, my collection is now under 2000 and growing. My husband says I have too many and I say I don't have enough

    Which 3 did you buy?

    I started collecting when I was around 7-years-old. Batman, The Flash, Green Lantern were amongst my fave-raves. I never cared for Marvel all that much. I thought DC artists and writers were much better. This was back in the 1960s.

    I still enjoy comix. I find vintage issues anywhere and gobble them up.

    When I was that age, my Dad said, you need a hobby. Everyone does. He was right. Now, I collect comix, baseball cards, Peanuts ***** books. The stuff I grew up with. I see them differently now. They seem more valuable, but not in a tangible way.

    Happy Collecting!
