Just imagine if Stan Lee or Chris Claremont or Frank Millars writings could be taken back to ancient Greece or Rome.They would be considered spiritual classics and our superheros would be in the same league as Zeus or Aphrodite.However,their's still a lot of people out their that think comics are strickly for kids.It's sad realy.
People just think that comics are childish cause they don't read comics cause they think they're childish cause they don't read comics cause they think they're childish cause they don't read comics cause they think they're childish cause they don't read comics cause they think they're childish cause they don't read comics cause they think they're childish cause they don't read comics cause they think they're childish cause they don't read comics cause they think they're childish cause they don't read comics cause they think they're childish. It's our job to break the chain by spreading truth. In other words, whine nerdily. Comics aren't childish. Not in the slightest. People just follow the cliche of "Golly-gee-gosh! We have to buy our toy line before that blimp reaches city hall! And you can help, kids..."

ok dudes comic book are not childish, for example, thanos is a dude on big rampage this is not childish, next is spawn damn he has a lot of violence, the other is thor, he is a god on a rampage, then theres saint of killers, killed god (WTF), and finally theres the chicks, so many chicks are exposed only little clothes cover there skin.
so yeah its not bad, and it helps your vocbulary, and maybr gets you interrested in science, if you read the fantastic four youd see that reed says all these cool words. but spectre is just cool, the wrath of god now you know.
It's like any great art form...i can be for childrren OR adults. Hand an English professor a collection of Sandman comics and see if he tells you comics are always childish. There's as much in those as there is in any great novel, story, poem, or artwork.
Stan Lee has addressed this himself as well, saying that great art, writing, characters, etc. make it at least as worthwhile as any other form of art.
Fight the ignorance! 🙂
When comics began they were, what I would deem, childish. As the years passed and their fans aged, writers and their companies had to choose between trying to appeal to a new generation of youngsters or writing SLIGHTLY more sophisticated material. Every so often the writing matured as the comic readers did.
Comics that chose, instead, to continue to market to young children (Richie Rich, Casper, etc.) did alright, but in the superhero genre, those that didn't upscale their material, failed.
Today, some comics are at a level of quality that could be deemed good literature, some are not... this occurs in all art forms.
I no longer buy comic cooks; not because they aren't worthy of my attention, rather they've become too d*#n expensive.
I have written essays attempting to validate the graphic novel and comic book stroylines as a respectable art form and mentioned it lectures. I am an English professor.
Lets be honest... Comics are childish. But it doesnt matter if we just like them, does it? Actually, i dont like the art in american comics, the fights are too boring, i just like too see the different characters and their powers come to test. I like spawn, example, because it shows his inner conflicts and inner fight between good and evil. He just have powers to make his decision important for us humans. THATS what i see in comic books.
