Article: Comic shops are constantly adding new books to their inventory, and will have plenty of books to peruse while you decide what to read. Physical comics have the advantage of always being readable, even when your Internet is down. They also make it easier to display and show off your collection as it grows. Make sure you have adequate shelving or other storage space (boxes and/or bins) before you start collecting physical comics. Digital comics are easier to store, since they can all be found in one place. They are ideal if you don't have a lot of space to keep physical comics, or just want to keep your collection organized as easily as possible. Consider buying digital copies of comics to read, then buying print editions of your favorite stories to give the creators extra support. You don't have to choose one or the other. Plenty of comic fans have both digital and print copies of their favorite comics. Several printed comics also give digital copies of the same issues to buyers at no extra charge. Comics are collectible items. While you buy them to read them, you want to preserve them so you can keep reading them years down the road. Keep them on shelves like you would normal books, but tuck them into special sleeves to keep them from yellowing. They will be made from plastic, and can be opened and closed with tape. Some comics come with special collector's boxes, which are great for protection and will look amazing on your shelves! You won't have this problem with digital comics, naturallythough you may want to back them up on separate cloud storage (like Dropbox or Google Drive), just in case something happens to your device or current cloud service.
