98 - STOP - ALL


I am 29 and I have stopped buying comic books.

Is it the age or is it that I just simply lost interest in the storylines being told? I don’t know. Whatever it is -- it is sad.

Comic books were an integral part of my life and now they are no more. It is like losing a best friend -- it hurts.

My friend says my relationship with comics was like a marriage. I loved them to death at first and now it has just fizzled out...

I disagree.

I think of my relationship with comic books as more of a drug dealer and drug user type relationship. I “needed” them at one point in my life to get me through the ordinary, but now I have other things like my screenwriting that capture my imagination. If you really think about it -- I guess I just stopped being lazy. Instead of looking to a piece of material to feed me stories and images, I have now reached a stage where I now prefer to create my own.

Nonetheless, I will always remember the sweet escapes...

Thanks for the memories...
