i opened up my own comic book store in 2001,sadly I couldn't
keep it open and closed it down on new year's eve 2004.
I don't regret anything it was probably the perfect job, except year after year I was running in the red.

Do you like the French bande-dessine? I really want to get into French comix, especially the classic sci fi stuff like Metal Hurlant.

I love comics, manga and otherwise.

I am currently collecting the Fruits Basket manga and the Runaways comic, by Marvel.

My dad is the real comic freak of the family, I think he has over a thousand comic books. One of his favourites is Tintin. :)

Transmetropolitan is my current favorite, but I have also read the Sandman all the way through at least three times (Delirium and Thessaly are my favorite characters). A friend recently got me into Strangers in Paradise but I haven't read the whole thing yet. Oh, and Preacher! Humper di do!
