20 Things I Have Learned from a Lifetime Reading Comics.

  1. British comics have the jump on American comics when it comes to nuttiness.
  2. There is just something nice about old paper.
  3. The comics world is like a finely tuned ecosystem. There is a place for all titles. The Beano, 2000 AD, Batman, Fantastic Four, all have their niche.
  4. A little bit of madness goes a long way.
  5. Why are there no humour comics for adults?
  6. Whilst the Golden Age comics may lack "sophistication" they sure belted along.
  7. Captain Haddock is the most human comic character ever created.
  8. Frank Miller can not write female characters.
  9. Alan Moore is not a crazy magician. He, like Bill Hicks has seen through the world & has seen what is worth fighting for.
  10. There is no British comics scene to speak of.
  11. Superheroes can never truly die unless they are a second tier character.
  12. They are the most subversive form of publishing.
  13. DC nor Marvel seem to publish comics for children.
  14. The Pulp heroes are sadly missing.
  15. Female heroes in general are given short shrift.
  16. Unless they are Power Girl.
  17. Wonder Woman the most high profile bondage lover in the media.
  18. Bruce Wayne & Dick Grayson are not gay. I will fight you if you say otherwise.
  19. "The door of the cage is open Evey. All that you feel is the wind from outside. Don't be afraid"
  20. It can't all be grim & gritty, the are both light & shadows in life.
