Collecting comics in foreign language vs original English

Post Body

English is not my first language but I'm fluent enough that I can read books and comics originally written in English. So far I've been reading comics mostly digitally but recently I've started building a physical collection of my own and reading physical books always feels much nicer. To have them in English I can only order them online since I don't live in an English speaking country. On the other hand, sometimes when I'm out I end up visiting a book store or a comic shop and I get the urge of buying something, that kind of adrenaline rush can't compare with just buying something online, but the comics there are all in my native language of course. There's nothing wrong with that, but whenever I end up buying a comic in my native language I always have this thought I my mind that I could have read it in the language in which it was originally written by the author instead of a translation (I get this with regular books too). So my question is, should I avoid any place that would make me want to buy a translated comicbook or should I just enjoy the experience of buying books in shops, even if they are translated? I know it's a pretty neurotic mentality but that's just who I am.
