Comic Book Geeks

“time for all you closet fanboys and fangirls to fess up! im 33 years old, i read comic books, have done so for about 12 years now, and im not ashamed! i generally dont read heroes in spandex (jla is an exception), my tastes run towards the vertigo line and similar titles. my all-time favorite series was the sandman by neil gaiman, however, my favorite author is alan moore. hes to comics what stanley kubrick was to film: visionary, able to work in a wide variety of genres and styles, has a unique and clear voice, and chock full of meaning and detail.”

“you are a dork.”

“Scoops, being older, I was of the 'old school' comics generation. I had DC comics and Action comics that had the prices of 10 and 12 cents on the cover. Just about 3 weeks ago, Maple and I took the kids into a comic store in Times Square. They had that old stuff, except the price tag for a 12 cent DC comic went up to 75 dollars and much more for some of the older ones...”
