Love it! And TBH you're probably better off not being a big OA collector. It's an expensive hobby. That being said, I get a lot of satisfaction looking at the pieces from time to time. Pieces like Courtney's WTFPFH map! And also in the Bendis realm, Torso was my big Bendis book. Started the shift from strictly superhero comic reader to indy reader, and provided 'scripts' for camera tests we would do with our XL1 and various lenses to test them out back in my run-and-gun indy film days. And so one of my pieces I love is a cover to one of the Torso issues. The big toe tag one.
Well Duane, you made me very jealous. But yes, Bendis is a big part of my loving and making comics, so owning stuff from the books that got me here is something I can afford to indulge in. Also Tyler paid for it.
I love comics, but sometimes when I’m taking public transit I will choose a volume of manga over western comics because it’s less obtrusive elbow-wise.
I asked that question because of elbows, and because Last Man by Balak/Sanlaville/Vives is a different format that I think is more convenient.
Oh the size thing, for sure. I get that. Carrying a digest size book is so much easier. But I also read Tanabe's adaptation of AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS last year and was so mad that all the art wasn't bigger so I could study it more. And now they are releasing an oversized version and I'm going to buy it again because I'm a sucker.

I really appreciate you answering my question!

Good looking out. I’ll have to peep that.
Interesting write-up, thanks!
