Lol! Spectru,adults have to justify reading comics somehow,a fancy name is essential in that regard!. Somehow that ''graphic novel'' did little for me. I assume it had a huge impact back at the time of first publication,but decades later not so much. Anyway,I have fond nostalgic memories of the old superheroes from my youth,the modern trend of denigrating them,showing them as old etc,doesnt go down too well with me!
I did a challenge of reading some famousgraphic works last year and wasnt really enthused..I WAS blown away by Gaiman's Sandman series,but I doubt I will continue to read more graphics after I have completed Bill Willingham's Fables series this year.. Though I do still like a nostalgic reread of the Asterix books!


I read comic books when I was a kid. 10 cents for a regular one, 25 cents for a fat one. I liked Plasticman, The Flash, Aquaman, and Batman. I remember occasionally getting a classic comic. They were classic literature in comic book form, either the 10 or 25 cent size. Watchmen was my first and only graphic novel.
