Paratrooper Paratrooper I now realize that unusual forum posting can spawn a custom title you just DON'T WANT. TOTAL NEWBIE Registered: 07/12/06 Posts: 14998 Loc: HOME	No. People at work don't even know I collect either. The only people that know I collect are you folks and my parents. _________________________ RIP SPC Randy L.J.

slym2none slym2none TOTAL NEWBIE Registered: 02/25/09 Posts: 12907 Loc: a cincture wormhole	While I am a collector and reader first, why would I ever dare take my precioussesss out somewhere where they could be damaged or lost? I like my books to be in as nice of shape as possible. Seriously, I have taken TPBs out in public and on airplanes, and I used to stop at either a park near a small lake or a certain parking lot on the way home from getting comics way back in the day and read all my new stuff before I ever got home, but I was always careful (and was one of those nerds that carried bags&boards with me so each comic got protected before I left the LCS parking lot.) I also used to carry some of my comics with me back in 7th grade, where there were a few of us that traded around. $shrug$ -slym _________________________ ~ No signature required. ~

Registered: 03/19/09 Posts: 599 Loc: Hong Kong	I voted no in the poll because in my regular day to day I never read anything in public but then I realized pretty much everytime I am on a ferry or plane I have a comic hardcover (they tend to travel well) with me that I am reading. If you are on the subway here in Hong Kong you'll find many people that are reading comics (if not listening to their MP3 or playing video games). _________________________ 1961 to 1965 8.0 First Issue Marvels - All gone.

Ken Aldred Ken Aldred If you have a dream about out-posting me, you better wake up and apologize. Registered: 10/18/08 Posts: 2951	I don't read my stuff in public because I'm too obsessive-compulsive about damage. However, I don't feel stigmatised at all by people knowing that I collect comic books. Someone I speak to in my LCS, a big Daredevil fan that works at the local Morrisons supermarket, recently mentioned that he doesn't mind derisive comments being made by his colleagues while he's reading his new comics on a break. Mind you, it wouldn't be all that difficult to brush off their double standards and subjectivity, considering that these critics are probably reading "Nuts" or "Heat" or something equally intellectually draining in front of him.
