@@MtrplsHQ good cuz this video was BOOORRRING... IMO hey ...I've lived the comic book world life.. getting into comics in the mid 60's... buying Journey into Mystery 83 and other origin comics out of garage for a nickel a piece . .getting the first 50 issues of X-men AND the Avengers in the same evening from two kids. my age back in 1967 for just 5.00 TOTAL.. going to the treasure comic room of an antique store here in my city.. and picking up rare pre code horror comics.. for just a buck each.. I remember buying the 50 cent issue one of SAVAGE TALES off the drugstore.. newsstand like it was just yesterday.. I had amassed quite a collection.. before I started selling them off on E-bay.. I still have the whole run of MAD's and Panics.. and about 250 MAD paperbacks as well.. there were always deals that slipped thru my fingers though.. like being able to buy near mint copies of Amazing Fantasy 15 for just 8.00 each... boy I wish I would have nabbed some of those..
Thank you for this video of Mr. Ruben Blades. I didn't know that he is such a huge comic book fan and collector. He is also one of the icons of Salsa music. 😊
I'm the proud owner of one of Ruben's Sensation Comics (issue 94 CGC 7.5) that I purchased in the mid 2000's. It was the highest graded copy at that time.
My wife grew up in Panama Canal Zone (military family) and bought comic books in the Fort Clayton commissary too in late 1950s and early 1960s. She had to leave her Comic book and ballcard collections there when they came back to the states in 1962...:-(. Appreciate video.
Never knew Ruben collected comics until this video... he discusses some many truths & experiences of collecting comics... but when in certains terms he calls it personal, perfect.
Hi, I hate to be that person, I comment on alot of videos & I'm in alot of chats & I'm always positive. I didn't enjoy alot of this video, I don't mind hearing his back story, but you had him going on & on. I want to see his books, I wish it was less talk & more show, especially when you say it's a legendary collection.
Did anybody else come to watch this video to see his collection and get really disappointed when they didn't show any of the books
We have individual videos of Ruben talking about his books under the "Shorts" tab.

The way he smiles as he recalls his collection, that's why I collect it's the memories
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Blades at SDCC many moons ago. The coolest cat in Hollywood thank you for this interview and sharing this video
Thank you for watching!
The smile on Ruben's face as he is reminiscing about his favorite comic run from 24:37 and on, says it all. That is what this hobby is all about!
That's correct! Thanks for watching!
I love your albums, especially Buscando America. I'm glad you also share my love for comics.
This is one of the most fantastic interviews from a famous person about comics I've ever seen on pooptube 💩😂❤
This was insightful on a lifelong passion. Really nice to hear
Legendary actor, didn't know you love comic book's. Respect Sir. Thanks to the channel for the post.

Thanks for watching!
@@Dragomo-David I know. And to think he's one of my favorite actors playing cop roles.😛😕👍😄
I was today years old when I found out, fascinatingly, about Ruben Blades and his legendary Comic Book Collection!
Never knew Ruben collected comics until this video... he discusses some many truths & experiences of collecting comics... but when in certains terms he calls it personal, perfect.
Top man. Love his genuine passion for the books, the stories, the characters and the history of the medium!
Awesome 👏 interview documentary. Thanks need more info like this behind scenes of comic collecting. Thanks
One note you should show like his top 30-50 books real quickly on this instead of just showing him talking 😉
i hope for a part 2 where he shows his books and the smiles they bring
Great interview. Ruben's collection is testimony to a lifelong passion.
We are happy you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
I was gonna copy you on a comment to direct you here bc i thought you would like and here it is you beat me by two weeks. Lol
Love & Rockets by Los Bros IS the best!
Very cool
Is he still collecting.
He is! Thanks for watching!
Now I know why there's a character named Ruben Blades in Batman: Odyssey (one of the most insane comics ever made)

Agreed
Just show at least his top ten or show the comics he’s talking about?

Way to ruin a video with the random stupid sound effects! WTF is that all about?
Yes I came to see his comics. This video is super boring
