My grandson is discovering comic books. And I well remember when I did--and also my own kids. I think I had an early Batman once upon a time (maybe issue three or four).
At four, Kevin can barely follow the stories (which are very violent and dark now) but he knows this is the stage he is supposed to be at. He thinks Winnie the Pooh is too young for him, much to my regret.
I was mostly an Archie and Veronica person. How about you? Were comics a large part of your childhood? Do you read graphic novels now? Did you parents look down on such literature. Does anyone remember classic comics? Do your kids read them?
I have a friend who has almost every Little Lulu comic. Do they still make such tame fare or is it all ultra violent?
