well your father was wrong to tell you that, i read comic books when i was kid in the 1960’s were fun to read in the summer months.
My siblings and I were all avid book readers, as were our parents, but we kids also loved reading DC comics and Archie comics, among others. We traded them with our friends and bought them with our allowance.
Looks like those are yet one more thing the vile left has destroyed with their depravity and the desire to push that on children.
