Ande Parks' blog contains some nice lessons about appreciating comic art. I really enjoyed his quick breakdown of a Buscema/Sienkewicz collaboration.

"I stopped thinking New Comics Day and started thinking about building a library — to have a comics collection I would never resent taking with me. The way I did this was roughly 1) figured out what I was spending, 2) quit going to the shop for six weeks, 3) started depositing a percentage of my weekly purchase amount — whatever I wanted it reduced to — into a fee-free checking account starting that first break week and making that a weekly habit (or doing so virtually in terms of my existing account), 4) vowed to end the practice of double-dipping, which didn't always mean trades over comics but certainly meant one or the other, 5) when I started to buy again not buying anything the week it came out for six months, 6) never buying from the same place three times in a row."
