When I was a kid in the 70s, everyone read comic books. We all had our faves, both in characters and comic book companies: DC, Marvel, Gold Key, Archies, Charlton, Dyna-Brite. In some schools , cliques were divided by what comic companies you preferred. A kid who liked DC wouldn't dare mix w/ the Marvel kids, or he (or she) would be ruthlessly teased. (trust me, I speak from experience )
I notice these days, that a lot of kids, really don't read comics, and don't know the difference between Marvel and DC or Dark Horse, or any other comic company. Heck, most of them don't even know the secret identities of the most basic heroes. We all know that these are different times, and what was important to kids back then, aren't the same anymore, what w/ cable and video games, and whatnot, so we need not get into that. I just wanted to know where your kids stood on the subject of comic books.
