I do. What dates do you consider the Bronze era?
70s up to probably mid 80s Sure. Best era for comics. Things got out of control in the mid 90's and the industry overall is still reeling. Nowadays a huge hit of a comic is if it sells 100,000 or so copies. Back then they would cancel a title if it sold so poorly. The comics industry is in real dire straits nowadays.

I pretty much stopped buying in the 90s. Came back to them when Buffy Comics started and then got back into the habit of visiting the comic store again.

My monthly allowance on buying frivolous stuff has been used to buy video games, systems, star trek ship models. computer parts, and books. I get back around to them. I would love a movie. There are some decent fan made trailers out there. |

The only thing I still read currently is Saga, and for that I just buy the trades when they come out. I stopped buying floppies altogether and downsized my collection a few years back, when Marvel ended the Ultimate universe. I'm still buying Saga but well behind on the reading. The first 20 or so issues that I have read were great Yeah, I love the book. I don't really participate in like any fandom or discussions about it, so for all I know the consensus is that it jumped the shark between what you've read and where I'm at, but for my money it's always been an awesome read. And I love the ever-expanding universe being developed/revealed. That said, I might be like one trade behind. I think it's been on a hiatus for a while, so I haven't felt the same urgency to keep up. |

I loved some Marvel titles (Spider Man, Daredevil, The X-Men) as a teenager/young adult decades ago. My brother still buys various X-Men titles regularly.
I was also into the French/Belgian school of comics - starting with Asterix, Tintin, Lucky Luke when I was young, then graduating to Hugo Pratt, Moebius, Enki Bilal, Schuiten & Peeters. I will still buy any new graphic novels from the last two to this day.
