The big plus about them was they were infinitely easier to browse than Marvel's digital comics.<BR/><BR/>The last time I saw a comic book in a library was during my last visit to America (Minessota to be exact). How I wish libraries here in the Philippines stocked some. But yeah, libraries are sometimes your best bet if you want your comic book fix. I'll be tackling that bit in the next article!George S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01725228828454786609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8735396.post-64221033691849766272008-10-20T14:15:00.000+08:002008-10-20T14:15:00.000+08:00I have particularly found the free first issues on...I have particularly found the free first issues on sites like Image Comics very helpful for finding out if I realy want to follow a particular book or not.<BR/><BR/>When my comic budget was particularly tight, I also went to an actual book and mortar library or two and checked out every single graphic novel on their shelves - well, not all at once. Some libraries have great selections, generally in the "teen" section. It backfired as a money-saving technique, though: I ended up reading several books I never would have picked up in the store, but thought were great then had to purchase for myself.FCGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531634381811523908noreply@blogger.com
