Definitely a DC man, although Marvel have brought out some decent stuff ("Marvels", "Ruin" etc) over the years. I started collecting as a kid in London, stopped when I moved to Oxford area aged 10 (couldn't get American comics out here then!), and then started again aged 35!!
Am now at approx 5000 and counting.................(sad old git)..........and today's my 50th birthday! My wife and children have officially given up on me.
