I actually learned things from comics, and they fired imagination.

I agree. They introduced some interesting concepts, and in many cases, they were just great art. I still read a lot of old comics and I now take the time to savor the illustrations more than I did when I was younger.

There was a lot of veiled adult humor and inferences that I didn’t get at the time, but lots of references to things that made one look elsewhere to learn more.

(And I liked flights of fancy like The Bottle City of Kandor ;-)

Me too. I still love comics if the art and story is there. Comics represent another aspect of American Exceptionalism to me and I do savor the Golden Age and Silver Age art especially.
