i love juice

I have always admired people who have collected comics, i know this may be a real geeky thing to say, but i actually enjoy reading and looking at the art of the older comics as well as watching the film industry try and imitate the excitement that these little booklets gave to millions of people young and old, with very little success. As a young boy i use collect cars in their boxes (i was told this would make them more valuable) however even though i have a passion for cars, collecting small model cars is completely boring and i lost interest.
So collecting comics and not in a major geeky nerdy way but just ones of interest is what i am in the very early stages of doing. I decided to start when i recently finished watching the first 3 series of the all new Battlestar Galactica and while being left wanting the next series i went searching the net out of interest for sites connected to the program. I remember watching the original series when i as very young but never really got into it but with modern twist and controversial plots it has been by far one of the best programs i have watched in its genre. It was while i was reading this site that i found there were comics released back in 1978 telling the original story, the comics only ran up to 1981 (this is my birth year) and produced 23 comics. This being a reasonable number and a story to which i which i am familiar with gave a great opportunity to start my little collection.
Well as you can see i started looking and found the very first issue and in amazing condition and for a very good price. I have already found issue 2 which is on its way and as i finish reading the first one im looking forward to next part. You get the understanding of why these booklets were so popular in their day as without TV series turning most people into couch zombies like myself, it gave great excitement to reading with awesome visuals.
The only downside to this is that my partner finds another reason to complain about all the crap i seem to collect and again this will get moved to the office out of sight, but that's OK, its boys stuff and as long as she keep to the agreement of not getting a flowered bedspread its a good compromise.

Not sure about being called a Bibliophile though.
