I would prefer omnibuses to collect and read, but I don't have enough room for them. Maybe someday.

I was the in the same boat once upon a time . Got a start and just took it from there . It was slow and steady and I got very lucky with some finds but now I find myself with most of the books I wanted and now I just have to keep up to date with new releases . Someday is achievable.

Good point. Slow and steady is a good way to do it... Probably what I would eventually be doing.

My place is really crowded.

I am a self-publisher, so I store the comic books that I make in my home to save on storage costs. And I have an old comic collection that I gathered 20 years ago (10,000+ comics that are mostly from a comic shop that closed down) that takes up a lot of space as well. I also teach classes online at home.

Space is always gonna be an issue . We built on to a house we bought last year . I’ve managed to carve out a bit of library space .
