...other day, who were about 6 or 7 - and these were pretty freakin' hardcore Batmans, the 'graphic novels' with 'blood' and 'dead' in the titles. I was kinda shocked really... I mean, I had Batman stuff bought for me when I was a tyke, but it was all the campy Adam West 'n' Burt Ward stuff, rather than the dark, brooding psycopath stuff.
And I'm not sure what the average age of the 'big' comic fan would be... I'm seeing more younger people buying them, which I suppose is good, but I'm guessing the 30 year olds with too much 'disposable income' are still responsible for most of the sales made.
