Have you ever told a story? I'm sure you have. Story telling is a creative element to preserving generations of knowledge and history.

In the south side of ol' San Anton is a small comic book shop called The Collectors Authority. It is a place where score of stories lay at rest in the pages of comic books. There are tales of dilema, misfortune, betrayal and of course conflict.

Being a story lover is why I am addicted to the comic book. It always has a hook/clincher that'll leave you yearning to see what comes next. Living in the south side of San Antonio is where the convinience of The Collectors Authority steps up to the plate and hits a home run bigger than that of the Babe himself. With gas prices along with many things on the rise, alot of people would object to driving 30 minutes across town for their weekly entertainment; if it were not there, many south siders would completely forget about the illustrious art and complex plots comic books bring to us fanboys.

Despite the fact that many people deem comic books as childish and imature or believe that the writer cheats to tell the story with the artist, the central scheme is complexly constructed with realistic artistic qualities and is a multi-million dollar industry.

Being a lifelong fan of heroism is what would inspire me to tell a great mini-series with characters I grew up watching and admiring. Comic book continuity contains a mamoth sized amount of linking events. To be able to leave my name next to a story that fans will always remeber and share as they pass it down to the next generation would be legendary.
