<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=828455314-10092006> </SPAN>Is there a
technical name for a comic book collector? Something very
<BR>sophisticated-sounding like "numismatist" (not sure how to spell that)
or<BR>"philatelist" (not sure how to spell or pronounce that
one)? Just wondering.<BR><BR>If there's no term for collecting comic
books (or one who collects <BR>them): Maybe we should have a
contest? Or a person at some comic book<BR>club could suggest some
new terms that all comic book collectors could then<BR>vote on?<BR><BR><SPAN
