Questions Worth Asking: * Is there a fictitious work out there you are interested in? Is there a marketplace to support that subject matter? If so, you may have a new hobby to explore. * If you are passionate about that fictitious content, do you think physical copies or objects that are affiliated with that content can be valuable over time?  * Let's say you are collecting physical items. How are you ensuring they remain in pristine condition? Are there services out there that can help you keep your investments safe? * If you plan to sell, when would be a good time to sell? What factors or events are you depending on to have some foresight of a good time to sell and make a profit? In regards to the 2nd reason to collect comic books, here is my drawing attempt [https://photos.app.goo.gl/AkqUkwVVxMrdXgaCA] to emulate the amazing Jim Lee.
