My journey into comics started in the most '90s way possible—through POGs. What began as a schoolyard obsession with those cardboard discs quickly led me to the pages that inspired them, and that's where I discovered Venom: Lethal Protector #1. I can still remember the rush of seeing that iconic black symbiote leap off the page, all teeth and tendrils. I was hooked.
Like many collectors, life pulled me away from comics for a while. But as an adult, I found my way back—this time with a deeper appreciation for the artistry and history behind each issue. Every comic tells two stories: the one on the page and the one of its journey through time. That's what drives my passion for comic book pressing.
