Collectors Spotlighted on Multiversity Comics!
The relationship a comic book collector has with their longboxes can be just as deep and as meaningful as with one’s spouse or partner. If you’re lucky, you have someone that shares your passion for sequential art – – or at least mildly tolerates it. For comics fan and owner of California comic shop Hi De Ho Comics Eddie deAngelini, that relationship provided inspiration for his webcomic "Collectors" dealing with the ups and downs of sharing your love of comics with the one you love.

Remembering Stan Lee by Eddie deAngelini
The first comic book I ever read was written by Stan Lee. As a kid in the 1970s, I knew no different. His name was on all of the coolest characters: Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Daredevil and The Hulk, to name only a few. In the late seventies, Pocket Books published a line of digest size paperbacks reprinting all of the early issues of Marvel’s greatest characters. It was my first introduction to comics as well as the giants who created many of the most popular characters and stories: Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko and Stan ‘The Man’ Lee. It was more than an introduction. It was an invitation into a world of heroes and villains, good and evil, and doing what’s right even when it makes everything in your life go wrong. I took that invitation and haven’t looked back.

Artist Was Comic Con Hero
While super in their own right, as evidenced by the long lines awaiting their signatures, the creators of Spawn, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Deadpool, Punisher, etc., weren’t the real heroes of the Las Vegas Comic Con. Stan Lee was not even the man. That title went to a mild-mannered artist in a back booth, Eddie deAngelini.
