Regarded as artwork, the act of comic book collecting has remained popular throughout the course of history, especially after the slump of comic book production in 1980.

Many individuals interested in collectible comic books strive to complete a partially assembled collection from their childhood, while many pick up the hobby during their adulthood and think of the purchasing of collectible comic books as an investment.

The comic book culture and comic book collecting began in the pop culture of the 1930s due to the popularity of superheros such as Superman, Batman, and Captain Marvel. As comic books regained their popularity in the 1960s during the boom of the Silver Age, fans organized comic book conventions, where they could meet to discuss their favorite comics with each other and eventually with the creators themselves.
