I was wondering for those of you interested in comics or "sequential art" in any format, what are your preferred genres for reading, collecting, or both?

I like the suspense stuff from the late 60's/early 70's, but a lot of it is just awful. Makes no sense whatsoever. But the good ones tend to be very good, like the Old Woman and the Sea story from HOM #179.

But the good ones tend to be very good, like the Old Woman and the Sea story from HOM #179. I don't have a good memory for the issue #'s or story titles from those books(I mostly remember the covers), but I liked most of what I've read from DC mystery/suspense titles. HOM, HOS, Ghosts, Unexpected, etc. I've read very few of the more obscure titles like Doorway To Nightmare or Secrets Of Sinister House, so I'm not too sure if what's in those follows the same anthology format with little in the way of a recurring character. One of my faves of the period is Weird War Tales. Consistently good stories and art. Even after the title jumped the shark with Creature Commandos I still found I enjoyed it, though for altogether different reasons. Marvel never seemed to have books in the same vein as DC mystery, perhaps those were themes more confined to the Atlas books? |

One of my votes was in "Other," which in my case is Classics Illustrated. I inherited a stack of them from my older brothers when I was a kid. I still have several of my favorites from that time, and I know every crease and mark in them like the back of my hand. These are my most valuable books (to me anyways - they are worthless  ). They turned me on to the classics at an early age, and sparked an interest in science fiction. Later, I started collecting them. These are also the books that made me cherish beaters. I love beaters - they have personality and are like well-used tools. You know some kid read and re-read them because he loved them. No 9.8 can compete with that.  |

my "other" vote was romance comics. I like those, but not because I'm a girl  |

I love to read DC war comics, Harveys (primarily Richie Rich), and Uncle Scrooge. I also enjoy bronze and copper Marvel and some DC superhero stuff. Pre-code horror is always fun. I do enjoy a handful of modern stuff. Goon, Hellboy, Manhattan Projects, Sixth Gun, Manifest Destiny. Planetary was also a favorite.

Dark Horse was my staple go to company for books when I first started collecting. Then I got into the superheros and Image, along with Marvel's Xmen was what I was into. Suppose I like the indy feel with a bigger budget  |

Would Bark's Ducks fall under Humor or Other? Mebbe Adventure? I would go "humor", but vote as you deem appropriate to your own interests. Much of the Life With Archie series particularly in the 70's was Adventure, but I don't think anyone would call foul if someone considered it "humor" |
