Hubby and I both loved comics well into our twenties - and both discouraged our kids from picking up that particular addiction. I've got two teenagers now and neither one of them pays cash for American comics - one of them collects manga (the entire run of Kenshin, which is pretty much super heroics with a sword), the other one picks up the occassional comic at the library but directs his cash elsewhere, not least because we've made it clear comics have to be vetted and that's too much hassle for him to bother with. (He's 13 - no, I'm not going to be checking his comics once he's old enough for college....)<BR/><BR/>I can look past tentacle porn covers, but my daughters don't seem to have that ability, and I'm certainly not going to encourage them to try. It is depressing to discover that comics are less accessible for women now than when I started in the early 1970's!<BR/><BR/>I hope this doesn't multipost - my popup blocker is acting up...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14759247.post-52734131150852973812007-05-23T05:12:00.000-07:002007-05-23T05:12:00.000-07:00Let's hope the new CCA is more like the ESRB.Howev...Let's hope the new CCA is more like the ESRB.<BR/><BR/>However, this could end up being the catastrophic fire Alan Moore recommended for the comics industry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14759247.post-91364055430138447512007-05-22T15:42:00.000-07:002007-05-22T15:42:00.000-07:00That's the real issue Adam.

I can't imagine what my take on the hobby would be now if I had to contend with $3 for a 22 page pamphlet with a cheesecake bondage cover like that.
