PHILIP: I collected from 1985 to about 1998. Had to quit, cold turkey. I was up to about $250 week, and that was before the slipcased $100 editions of Sandman came out. I culled the chaff from my collection, but still have about 8 wooden boxes, sealed in plastic. I have the original print runs of The Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen; the original appearance of The Elementals in Justice Machine. Damn near all of Sandman, including no. 1. A lot of the Marvel Epic imprint that Archie Goodwin edited — I loved Alien Legion, and the craziness of Moonshadow and The Bozz Chronicles.
