I've always been enthusiastic about comics but I think the time when it was the most magical was when I was seven in 1966, enjoying Smash! and Wham! every week, and into 1967 when Pow!, Fantastic, and Terrific came out. Still my favourite group of comics to this day. Mostly down to nostalgia of course, as they had their faults, but I didn't care about that when I was a kid.

I decided to kill two birds with one stone by dating a girl entirely physically composed, somehow, of comics.

I only started collecting comics when I started to work. Before that, I was borrowing them from my local library. So from the age of, say 20 up to my 30s, I was actively collecting them. I have never been obsessed with completing series and often find that one book in a series is enough as, these days, I use my comics collection more like a reference tool than anything else.
