I think that all that comic book crap only affects the “adult children” in the 18 - 55 age group.

Agree. We kids read and traded comic books among ourselves until about 12 y/o in the ‘40s to early ‘50s. Superman, Captain Marvel, The Blackhawks, Aquaman, Donald Duck, etc.

By age 7-8, I was amassing a large collection of Classic Comics (Google if you don’t know what they were), which put many great books into a form that was appealing and suitable for children. I still read regular comics, but stories in Classic Comics really opened the mind to other things. ....At the same time, I began reading science fiction paper backs and books like “Wings” and “All Quiet on the Western Front”, “Tom Sawyer”, HUckleberry Finn”, White Fang”, etc.

I can’t understand at all why so many adults are so facinated with the so-called comic books that are now being published. They no longer promote what is funny or right in America, but instead push and push the liberal, gay and PC mantra; further brainwashing the readers of their crap.
