Comic book fans seem to have a language all their own. With terms like Variant cover, Retcon, Splash page, and Zine, one would have to be a Pannapictagraphist to understand it all.  A Pannapictagraphist is a collector of comic books.  A Zine is a self-published and often hand-drawn comic and a Floppy is a slang term for a single issue comic.

Comic book collecting can be quite lucrative for those who are a part of the Comixology crowd.  An original copy of the Action Comics first issue which introduced Earth to Superman sold for 3.2 million dollars on eBay making it the most expensive comic book in the world.

What do you call the Boom, Pow, Bang sounds often depicted in comic books like Batman and other superheroes? Onomatopoeia!
