Comics What we are

[Donald Thomas]

Aloha,
For years I've been trying to find out what the 10 dollar word was for people who collect comic books.
Here it is:
Comic book collecting is a hobby that treats comic books and related items as collectibles or artwork to be sought after and preserved. Though considerably more recent than the collecting of postage stamps (philately) or books (bibliophilia), it has a major following around the world today and is partially responsible for the increased interest in comics after the temporary slump experienced during the 1980s. Among comics fandom, the study of comics as a medium and an artform are sometimes referred to (individually or collectively) as panelology and people who collect comic books are known as Panna-picta-graphists.
Yea, I know, it took me a couple of times to pronounce the thing also.
Spidey rules with vocabulary that would make The Beast proud

I should found out what is Latin for "Pannapictagraphist For Life" . . . and make it the family motto.
