I'm a comic junkie who likes video games too!

Hey everybody! My name is Stephen, and I am from Orlando, Florida.

This is not my first message boards, but my first boards about video games. I am a comic book collector/dealer, and have been posting on comic book message boards for several years. I've seen real life marital affairs, many thousand dollar scams and flame wars that go on for 200 pages on those message boards. So, I am a weather worn veteran. image

I've been playing video games for most of my life. My first systems was a Sega Genesis. Since then, I have owned a , N64, GBA, Gamecube and Wii. My favorite game of all time is Super Smash Bros. Melee. I don't own an XBOX, but I have been playing a lot of COD 4 and Nazi Zombies on his system. Still, I tend to go for the Nintendo systems more often. However, I don't think I am getting into the Wii like most people are. Still, it's not a bad system.

I've been giving some thought about video game market, and being a video game fan, I instantly get excited about it. Just thought I'd introduce myself!

  • Nice to have more comic nerds here. Welcome.
  • I have a nice comic collection for sale at the moment. 79 comics total. Pm me if interested.
  • I was a huge fan back when, but don't have many comics anymore. I was really into the Image comics (Violator, FTW!) in the 90's especially, but I collected it all. Welcome to the site.
  • Hey man. My dad's a huge comic book collector from golden-silver age, mostly silver. His collection will be mine someday, so I know my share of comic stuff image. That seems to be what you collect in, right?



    Welcome to NA!
  • Hey guys, thanks for the welcoming party!



    That's cool superNESman. Yeah, I collect mainly Silver Age. X-Men, Tales of Suspense, Sgt. Fury, Thor and other Marvel books mostly. I have had some Golden Age books, but nowhere near as many. My best one being a Captain America #1 which I sold a couple years back.

    That's awesome, my dad's a huge Silver Age collector, as well as Monster Mags and any toys. He now has 4 (or 5, I can't remember image) AF 15's. That's one of his most prized stuff, being that one of them is around a 7.0.
  • Very nice. Four or five of those--he's a high roller. Unrestored 7.0s go for about $40,000+. AF #15 is about the most liquid comic assest in existence. Holding one may as well be the same as holding a stack of cash.



    So, what games do you collect? I see you're playing "Wrecking Crew" on the NES. Is it good? I've never seen it.

    Yes, he plans on holding on to that hehe.

    As you will see eventually, there is a weekend contest hosted to play games and win a small prize, and the random game a few weeks back was wrecking crew. I still haven't changed my status though.


  • That Dave Cockrum Nightcrawler page in your art gallery is amazing.
  • Thanks, I appreciate the compliment. I really do enjoy having the piece. It wasn't cheap, but I knew I would have to get one someday. I met Cockrum in 2006 about 6 months before he passed away, and got a few X-Men comics signed by him. He was a super nice guy as well as a great comic creator.
  • Hey welcome. My father-in-law is a huge collector of silver, and golden age comics. Good to have you here.
  • Welcome to the site.
