Why did Greg give up on comic books in 1996?
Greg’s answer: It’s kind of a long story, but in a nutshell here are a few factors as to why I gave up comics in 1996: 1) Many of the comics I was reading at the time ended their run. Love & Rockets. Sandman. Etc. 2) Other comics I was reading became UNREADABLE. Hulk springs to mind. It wasn’t really Peter David’s fault. But by that time Hulkwas the only Marvel Universe Book I was still reading. Then the Marvel Universe split in two or something, and I couldn’t make heads or tails out of Hulk anymore. DC’s Universe wasn’t that much better. 3) Comics I still wanted to collect, like Cerebus, were becoming hard to find. There was no longer a good comic shop near my office. I couldn’t go every week like I used to. So I’d try to go once a month. I’d miss an issue and not know it for another month when the NEXT issue came out. By that time, finding that back issue became VERY difficult. 4) Because so many comics I used to love were gone or unreadable, I was down to collecting very few titles
