My comics collection, November 2002
This list provides a snapshot of my comic book collection.
Like most collectors, I started compiling a checklist early on in my addiction. Unlike some collectors, I suspect, I also have an avid, arguably obsessive, interest in indexing and cataloging. (My non-fiction books are sorted by Library of Congress call number and my fiction books are sorted alphabetically by author, then by title.) This has lead to a comic book "checklist" that is 300+ pages long and is comb-bound.
Various rivulets combined to form this torrent. First, I'm no good at telling just by looking at a particular comic whether it looks familiar because I already own it or it looks familiar simply because I have seen it at dealers' tables far too often. So the first thing that made my list longer than some was that it's truly a checklist rather than solely a want list - it includes the books I already have as well as those I know I want.
The next thing I decided to track was whether a certain story I want to collect is reprinted somewhere, because the reprint is typically cheaper and more quickly purchased. So I reworked the checklist to give myself more room and started writing in features and story titles.
And finally, when I moved the list to the computer (yeah, I used to type it up every couple of years; it was shorter then, but still...), I decided to go through Overstreet and add in every title I would be interested in buying if I ever won the lottery.
Anyway, as I said the list is quite long now. As in a dictionary or encyclopedia, there are footers that help me locate titles quickly. The left-aligned left page footer has the name of the first title on a two-page spread and the right-aligned right page footer has the name of the final title.
The list on this page shows all of those footer titles from the November 2002 printing of my list/book. Since the footers change with every printing, this list gives an amusing look, IMHO, at both the breadth and the depth of my interest in graphic storytelling at a particular moment in time.
I've included all of the footers, so when a title is repeated here it usually indicates multiple pages of data in the list. The items that are not italicized are an artist's name, or a character's name, or a theme -- these are all points at which I shelve some comics rather than at their strictly-alphabetical locations.
