Nor I.
The sheer amount of stuff I had to gloss over or ignore in those days due to a limited budget.

It's the ol 30 year dilemma:

1992; Too many comics I want to read - not enough money.
2022; Plenty of disposable cash, very few comics I want to read.

Just do what i do go back and buy all the comics you couldn't afford to read back in the day. They've so elevated in price (in a few cases) it soon sorts out that disposible income problem.

Ah yeah, I've taken on a few quests to complete certain runs over the years.

I recently picked up a pristine CGC 9.8 copy of Byrne's Fantastic Four 233 - it has the ability to make me actually nerd-dizzy when I hold it.
