Superheroes

On this page I will list the comic-book series that I am currently collecting.  Note that in the digital age, these are not all necessarily being currently published. For example, I am collecting the original X-men series, starting at #1, which was published in the 1960s.  Although it is possible to buy dozens of back-issues at once, I am buying these comics a little at a time (one or two a month) regardless of when they were originally published.  The comics on my pull list are ones with which I am completely up-to-date.
