i'm a retired average-joe. but still keep my collection as mint as possible. some collection list:
spawn, spiderman(during the clone saga), batman(knightend saga), creech(the 1st 4 only), some misc issue(like ghost rider,venom and x-men) and a few one shot crossovers. i love to read them again from time to time.

i have to say, reading these kind of comics have better benefit than reading those manggas. at least english comics improved your english .

Most of us retired from comics because of the rising prices or maybe we've grown out of it. A lot of the comic's specialty shops close down after the comic boom in the late 90's. Nowadays, one simple comic's book cost about RM12 and I'm sure a hardcore reader will not only buy one book. 

Furthermore, the influx of manga books and those HK translated comics worsen the situation for American and English comics to survive. 

I still treasure all those comics I bought during that comic boom era. In my humble opinion, story like Onslaught, AoA or Kingdom Come is still the best compared to stories that come out now. 

I've completed my Have and Wish list. It's not that many. I have about 300+ and wish about 50 more to complete my collection. 

Thank you every one for your input. Now, if only I knew how to upload those lists here in this forum, I will post it as soon as possible. 

This is a great thread. i used to collect comics but stop for some time already.
also, comics prices have become ridiculously HIGH!! gone are the days when comics were only rm3, rm3.5, rm5. sad la

Hi, just found this thread, been a long time readers of comics and didn't know there was a place discussing them in Malaysia.

One thing I noticed, a few suggestions for people to find books from ebay or the US with high postage. Take a look at this site: www.thebookdepository.com they deliver to Malaysia postage free. I have used them many times and they are great. They lost one order but I emailed them and they just sent the book out again at no extra charge so highly recommended for trades, they carry just about everything available.

Yes conversion shouldn't be an issue as Kino already buy in US$ or pounds and then convert by exchange rate for the RM price.

As an example Kino price for the latest Captain America trade is RM51.15. The Book Depository is $13.99 which converts to RM41.30 as there's 21% off.

The only downside is you need to wait for them to arrive compared to buying in the shop.
