Maybe you're an aspiring artist studying Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko. You go to the comic book convention every year, so why not collect too? Most comic collectors are, in fact, die-hard, devoted fans.
Comic book collection values range from a few dollars over face value to six-figures, so the financial side of things depends upon the condition, rarity and issue. If you decide to collect, then you should be in it for pleasure and a sense of community, more than for business.
To become a comic collector, you'll first need to determine what kind of comic book series you want to collect. Naturally, you'll want a collection that most appeals to your interests and personality.
There are science-fiction comics, detective/mystery graphic novels, political comics, realistic comics, horror comics, outer-space comics and more. Chances are you already have some favorites if you're a true lover of a comic book series.
If you interests run really far and wide, then you may want to begin reading Issue 1 of each different comic book series and see which one speaks to you most. If you already have a killer collection from your childhood, then why not look into filling the gaps?
A comic collector will naturally be curious about what old comic books are worth. Popular and respected guides include The Official Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide, Comics Buyer's Guide magazine, Wizard Magazine, the Comics Buyer's Guide Standard Catalog of Comic Books, and the Human Computing's ComicBase software program. Online, comic collectors can also check out free resources like www.comicbookrealm.com, www.comicspriceguide.com or www.nostomania.com.
