Serious question — who reads comic books? They’re something I associate with the 1930s or 40s - essentially pre-TV generation entertainment. I’m 46 and never read one, and can’t remember ever once seeing anyone I know read one. (We did watch the Archie and Superheroes cartoons, though). Maybe the reason they’ve all gone so far left is because the only readers are a bunch of old leftists....?

“Serious question — who reads comic books?”

Most of the people who read them nowadays are hardcore “comic book nerds”. There were still a lot of kids reading them in the 80s/90s, but they don’t sell them in regular stores anymore. You either have to get a subscription, or go to the comic book store to pick them up now.

Comics, for a long time, have stopped being comics with single issue storylines. Most comics have become more like novels with story arcs that can span for many months and even years.

A lot of people like that.

Comic books have evolved into 'Graphic Novels', such as '300' and 'The Walking Dead.'

I have a small collection called 'Semper Fi - Tales of the Marine Corps' put out by Marvel in the mid 90s.
