The 'medium' Is Unaware Of Its Attractiveness, That's All. Everyone Loves Comics. I've Proven This To My Own Satisfaction By Handing Them Out To Acountants, Insurance Brokers, Hairdressers, Mothers Of Children, Black Belts, Pop Stars, Taxi Drivers, Painters, Lesbians, Doctors Etc. Etc. The X-files, Buffy, The Matrix, X-men - Mainstream Culture Is Not What It Once Was When Science Fiction And Comics Fans Huddled In Cellars Like Gnostic Christians Dodging The Romans.
