Q&A - Michael Zapcic (Comic Book Men)

Comic Book Men's Michael Zapcic helps run the Secret Stash and hosts the podcast I Sell Comics! In this interview with AMCtv.com, he talks about the public perception of comic book culture, his most prized collectible, and the dirty secret in Superman's past.

Q: How much did your I Sell Comics! podcast prepare you for being on TV?

I found myself censoring me a little bit. Not even censoring, just being very aware that you don't have a lot of time and you gotta get as much information out as you can in a short period of time. I learned how to be less boring, or at least I hope I did.

Q: What are some common misconceptions of comic book culture that the show dispels?
