Hi there, my name is Derek Smith and I've been collecting comics off and on since I was 12 years old in the late 60's. After a long pause between my teen years and my 20's, I started collecting again with my teenage children. I've been mostly Marvel for much of that time, although my all-time favorite comic is 'Superman: Secret Identity'. My plan as I head towards retirement, is to read Fantastic Four, Thor, X-Men and associated titles from the beginning. I have or have had almost all X-Men and related comics as well as all early Fantastic Four and Thor in graphic novel form but am currently filling in large holes in my collection, mostly with epic collections or Marvel Masterworks. Anyway, I started off just selling comics that I have read and don't intend reading again and my plan was to list those comics already mentioned as I read them. This has grow into a larger business thanks to a friend with a huge stock of comics. So, welcome to my store and have a good look around.
