We do not care if you call them comics, cartoons, comics or whatever they want to say. But it is an interesting question to recognize in some of these adjectives, which need not be interpreted as negative, plus a thing does not necessarily involve the other, or it could be two or none. Is that possible? For me the answer is yes, paradoxical as it may seem.
In my case at the beginning was not only the reader, was a devourer of stories, with just 7 years, my hands came every week an estimated 20 titles: Kaliman, Tears And Laughter, Superman, Supercomic, Batman, Spiderman, Chanoc, Blondie, The Fox and the Raven, Little Lulu, Disney Adventures, the Payo, Tarzan, witchcraft, the devil's carriage Capulina adventures, Memin Pinguin, El Chavo del Ocho, superratón, the police book, the red locust, Lone Eagle, the Holy, Tawa, Arandú, Huracan Ramirez, Starman, The Weekly book and much more. but they all did not keep anything, not that I buy them myself, my parents, uncles, brothers and cousins \u200b\u200bwe participated, but over a fortnight was common to get rid of them all. It was not until 1988 that for some reason it just occurred to me not throw, but of course, no one else that I participated, and what was published was very little. Therefore I can assure you that as my case was that of many readers of old and some new ones: a reader of comics does not make you necessarily a collector.
For the other premise: to be a collector of comics does not mean being a reader of comics, somehow implies a disorder, then Why collect if you read what you get? But since he accepted the erroneous idea that comics cartoons or increase in value over time in an absurd way, made people who were not reading started to shop and save comic strips, in a speculative mood, buy and save without reading, waiting to do business over time.
A variant is a compulsion to be so buying even without reading. Someone once said that collection may also be something addictive.
It
by other unreal, but readers of comics who buy compulsively, sometimes fall into the following adjective: Complete
The completist is being that reader and collector, which and you do not care if the creative team of writer, cartoonist, the inker and colorist do a good job, just do not want to see interrupted the numbering of the title that reads and collects.
the last time we meet several members of this blog, and to make conversation after the relevant share food, it is curious that some are only 1 or 2 degrees, or purchased titles as diverse editorial some of which we had never heard of, that time is long enough to finish sharing about our hobby.
The Pip, is the one that catches my attention, because being who could be a great collector, gets rid of many comics, keeping only those he considers worthwhile, we consider it a very practical collector, or is it that does not have enough space to store all objects that want to collect? jajajajaja not believe, but of the few people I think are very selective in what they collect.
And you, Are readers, collectors and completists?
