2010s = 1990s minus Nirvana

I've been rediscovering my comics collection, no not Morecambe and Wise DVDs, but instead my comicbooks. I used to have a couple of thousand of the little b@stard$ until one day in a moment of clarity, when they fell on me, I realised that I didn't really read most them anymore and more importantly didn't care about them. So it was goodbye and goodnight to most everything I had. It was cleansing, cathartic even.

But recently, I've been revisiting the past. What's left is not unsurprisingly a collection that was very much a picture of where I was at that time, there's a lot of Peter Bagge's Hate, Grant Morrison's Invisibles, Too Much Coffee Man, some Elric, Milk and Cheese, and of course lots of Alan Moore. The great shame of it is that English language comic books not only priced themselves out of most people's reach, but they couldn't tell all the stories they possibly could have to all the potential audiences they might have had. Oh well, nowdays it's the public library collections for me. Stay relevant kids.

*Sigh*
