Part of the popularity of comic books comes from the fact that they are a great reminder of carefree childhood days when you could have a good laugh at the simplest of jokes. They are also much loved owing to the underlying cryptic messages that they send across while being laced with humor on the outside. Add to that the art involved in these deeply influential works and you have got a product that finds a special place in many a heart. Besides, there can be a financial aspect to this hobby too. We will look into that later in this article.
If you are an enthusiastic collector of comic books (as I am), you will have realized that building a good comic collection is possible only if you know the right sources to find them. One of the best places to find even the rarest of books is at comic conventions. Besides, that is where you get the meet fellow enthusiasts and catch up on the latest in the comic books world; information that can prove invaluable. Other than conventions, yard sales and used book stores can also be extremely cost effective sources for collectible comic books. What is useless garbage for other people could be gold for you. Apart from all of these, one of the best sources is the Internet itself. There are always people clearing away old stuff and giving them away in online auctions on popular sites such as eBay. Just hanging around these places might get you some really nice additions to your collection.
