Hi!
My name is Jason, but, commonly go by Kid Chaos in almost every comics-related forum anywhere. I'm 41, and I have been collecting comics since 1982. I was a mainstream collector until about 7 years ago, when I became completely disenfranchised by the industry, a condition that I'd had for about 3 years. So, essentially, I've been looking for "something else" for 10 years.
My comic interests now are directed toward quality, good material. Stuff that stands the test of time, and stand as quintessential examples of what comics are all about. I've reduced my collection of all of the "pap", and only collect hard-copies of material that I deem necessary. Surprisingly enough, this includes titles like the 60s Mighty Crusaders and THUNDER Agents, Starlin's "Warlock" and "Captain Marvel" material, some of Claremont's X-Men run, the 70s Atlas Comics titles, 50s Horror books, A few ISSUES of Image, and a lot of titles from the 80s FIRST, PACIFIC, COMICO, and other independent companies and books.
Obviously, I love Golden Age books. I already have a lot of these digitally, but, haven't been able to "discuss" them with anyone who shares the same passion.
I hope to find that here!
