I've just realised that an awful lot of that consists of stuff I've already read, or reprints of things I've bought before. Is this a phenomenon unique to comics collectors, or am I the only person intent on buying the same things over and over again. I mean, I own 5 different editions of Watchmen, for christ's sake.
