I was a comic book fan when I was a teenager in the 1970s, and many people thought I was too OLD for it. The idea that comics were for kids was still prevalent.
I, for one, wish the comic book movie/tv shows would run its course and fade away. I stopped going to movie theaters during Covid and have not found anything to draw me back. I keep hoping it is just a phase and will disappear like other fads have but so far no luck. I’m afraid it will outlast me. Oh well, there is always books….not comic ones.

National Comic Book Day? That surely explains today’s “Barney and Clyde”.

Although I slightly prefer DC: what? No Marvel characters?

My wife is a MCU maven and says there are movies I wouldn’t understand without the comic book background.

I started spending my allowance on comic books in the ’60’s. My parents did not like that! I had to hide them,

I also bought Gold Key and Dell comics. Gold Key had “Bonanza”, “The Wild, Wild West,” and “Daniel Boone”. Dell had a lot of TV and movie titles.
