Does your parents read comics?

My dad is the biggest Frank Miller fan i've ever met. Whenever i buy comics he scoffs and says "but it can't be better than Frank Miller...". I tried to make him read All Star Superman...

My mom did 45 years ago, does that count?

my dad used to, and on a recent vacation I brought Identity Crisis along, when he was bored he read it and liked it

Nope.

Nope, not in the slightest bit. My parents are still stumped on how I even became such a big fan of comics in the first place.

@xwraith: why wouldn't it?

@thecowwasdelirious: Because she doesn't anymore.

@xwraith:

I miss Squares, so I'll take her role on me. *Do

Sorry :P. And no, neither of my parents read any comics :(

Nope, they consider them to be for children and I'd say they look down on me for reading them.

Then they go back to watching Judge Judy and a plethora of Antiques shows.

My dad did back in the 80s - 90s.

Hahaha. No.

Beata

My dad used to in the late sixties to early seventies. My grandpa read some as a kid as well, Dick Tracy and a Sci Fi comic that I'm currently forgetting the name of.

No, my mom is too busy drinking.

Don't know my father but I don't think he would of.

My mom didn't.

*Do

My father reads European ones.

My stepmother reads a lot of Marvel.

My grandma read Wonder Woman back in the day.

My Grandmother used to read a lot of Superman comics back then. I wish my parents would read some once in a while, though.

My step dad has a huge stack of batman and superman comics from the 80s in a trunk under his bed that he won't let me touch. He showed me one time and I saw a particular comic in which batman got his back broken. The next one in the stack had a different looking batman, who my stepdad described as "not bad, but a lot darker". I did not know the significance of these comics until years later. And he won't let me even look at them. :'(

They used to, Zagor, Alan Ford, Tex, etc. ...good stuff

I would ask does Beano and Dandy count, but I doubt anyone outside of Britain would even know what I'm on about.

Neither one of my parents has a nerdy bone in his or her body, so no.

Mom no, dad I don't know him, stepdad is nerdy as f**k so maybe (I know he used to own a game server)

I was gonna do exactly that!

where is squares?

No, but my uncle does.

My Dad used to read war-based comics but they're not as readily available now.

@itsomething: She said she was getting a bit tired of this website and left. The only thing she'll do on CV are reviews she said.

Nope

My dad used to when he was younger.

@scorpion2501: i read her post on the goodbye thread

My dad did back in the day and still does occasionally now.

My Dad was a big GI-Joe fan & Spider-Man fan back in the day, I think he wants to get back into it but doesn't know where to start.

Nope. In fact, I think I'm the only one among all my cousins who does. Although I am getting one of my cousins into them, he storta likes them but he can't afford to buy them like me.

My mom does, but not that interested as much as I am.

The moment I read this thread title, I laughed out loud, literally. I can't even imagine it, that's how off it would be.

Nope, but my mom loves Wonder Woman and my dad likes Superman.

this with your Michael avatar made me laugh. All i can see is your cousin looking like Franklin.

Same, got introduced to comics from him.

Dandy was cancelled last year.

Beano still sells like 30,000 a week though.

My parents think comics are a waste or time and throw them out for clogging up my room when I'm not home. They've found every possible hiding place.

Whaaaat? Dandy was cancelled? That was a classic part of a lot of people's' childhoods. Are all the characters gone as well?

Some of them were moved to the Beano, Bananaman for instance.

Dandy was selling over a million a week back in the 1950s

What about Desperate Dan? He even had his own bar (sweet) at one stage.

@squalleon: Tintin? :D

Yep. Mostly franco-belgian comics are popular here and Italian-school Disney ones.

@squalleon: my dad had a Tintin club when he was young, was a huge fan, so now i am too.
