Synopsis

Charlie has been collecting comics for over 40 years. In order to finance his habit, he bought comics in bulk and sold them individually. The rest they say is history. Interesting Notes Charlie has been collecting comic books with his friends since he was five or six years old. They would buy different titles because they don't have enough money. They would read their own titles and then swap with each other. When he left home, he decided to bring his own collection. He considers himself as a Marvel Zombie --- someone who used to buy every single comic title back in the 70's, 80's, and 90's. In fact, he has 10,000 comics in stock, for sale, and about 25,000 comics in his collection. Only 5% of the comics he has, has he read. He grew up with the stuff in the 60's and 70's. That is the stuff that he read. The rest becomes a part of his collection. Over the period of years, Charlie has established relationships with various sellers. He sources his comics from his trips to local stores that give bigger bargains
