Malcolm Mobutu Smith collects comic books, and he takes it very seriously. He has a room dedicated to his collection. It has light controls, atmosphere controls, and safes.

I have to say, that kind of dedication? It’s something akin to love.

This week on Inner States, Malcolm Mobutu Smith on comic books, collecting, and the exhibit he just put together based on that collection. It’s called The Deep End: Golden Age Comic Books, and it’s up at the Eskenazi School of Art Architecture and Design’s Grunwald Gallery through March 4.
