The amount of data isn't the main consideration. Postgres would be useful
if you wanted to have queries about you comic books use an index or if
there was some data about them that had rules you wanted enforced.

I would think it would be overkill to use postgres if you are just
occasionally adding the names to the list and will just want the whole
list if there is an accident.
