w...that's so sad Nomad. I'va always wanted to work in a comic shop. Ive though about business ventures like that myself, but as you show, they can be risky.

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!
