We need the kind of reform that will take a decade, if not a generation, and maintaining that political focus has proven extremely difficult over the last 30 years.

Onwards and upwards reads like CS Lewis to me, I don’t immediately recognize “Excelsior”

I’m pathetically unfamiliar with super hero comics given how much of a nerd I am in general

Stan Lee has been one of my heroes for about as long as I can remember. My grandma had hoarder tendencies & she kept every comic book from my dad's youth. They had no TV & it was always too hot to be outside so I read every single one starting age 4. Much later, I worked at a comic store in college

It's been a very long time since I kept up any subscriptions but I used to have them by the dozens. It was always great when they came in and you'd go get a fresh stack. Heaven

I used to read to much to fast, my mother bought me Ivanhoe and Bullfinch’s Mythology in the hope they’d slow me down

There was a period around 2000 were there were was an explosion of great titles, which is when I started reading comic books as art, but it was always collected volumes.

To this day I maintain Sandman and The Wire are the greatest narrative works outside of the prose form. And I recognize Gaiman has been shown to be a horrible person, but I bought all those books before anyone knew better.

100 Bullets, Preacher, DMZ, Sleeper, The Boys, The Loser were the great stories for me. I love the adaptation of The Boys, I’ve heard good things about Preacher and I’m a bit surprised 100 Bullets has never been adapted

The first comic convention I ever went to was outside of D.C. & I was literally the only girl there, in the early 80's. It was tough to be a comic gamer nerd girl for a long time but I never gave up, lol EXCELSIOR!
