HORROR
Horror. It's a word that conjures up feelings of fear on various levels
for many people. Whether it be nightmares, violent unmerciful deaths, or
even the fear of the unknown mortal man has in his own way adapted to
and dealt with the many horrors of life through the ages. While horror,
and the fear inducing panic thereof has no definitive origin it has
followed humanity like a plague throughout history. Through tales of
terror, religion, imagination itself, and real life encounters mankind
has always been afraid of something. A primal instinct embedded within
us, and for good reason. Some of us develop phobias in our lifetime, or
fears of certain things while others embrace it's darkness in the form
of entertainment that mimics, and plays down the real threat of being
mortal in the presence of so many life ending possibilities.

Hobby Highlight ~ March 2017 (ARCHIVE)
COMIC BOOKS
From the golden age of comics to the modern day collectors have stuck by this artistic, and story inclusive hobby regardless of it's ups and downs. Starting at a lowly 5 cents a copy back in your great grandfather's days to the costly $5 printings of today comic books have evolved in both offerings, and value. The birth of indies, the introduction of TPB (Trade Paperbacks) / HC (Hard Covers), and cover art variations being of the more notable changes throughout the history of the collectible. Some of us like the more niche indies while faithful fans of the past stick by heroes, and heroines who have withstood the test of time. Hyped up by special story driven events including the death of characters, and sometimes the rebirth of the same it's hard not to get caught up in the collecting frenzy that is as varied as it is in the world of comic books. Some of us hoard our collections for future value while others love to read through the pages within, and enjoy the art that makes each story pop.
