Admiring strangers

For most of my 34yrs I have been a huge comic book fan. Sometimes I think it is silly that even now I still continue to collect. What I find most interesting is that the stories I still enjoy the most where the ones I read as a youth.

But something about being a comics fan has always struck me as a bit odd, and that is how much I admire some creators for the work they produced. Really I am admiring a complete stranger. Someone who is gifted and has provided me with some level of entertainment that they may never know have shape me and possibly others. The comic medium is very different from other media. With actors, athletes you get to see them and can garner a little bit of how they might really be, whether through interviews or just constantly being on television. Comic creators it is much different unless you are a rabid fan and are on all the websites you might never read and interview from a creator, and you might never even know what that person looks like. This has always struck me odd, maybe I wouldn't feel this way if I was a convention goer.

What does everybody else think?
