In response to: Like an alarmingly decreasing number of children
I'd like to say that my two sons who are of reading age both read comics. The 9yr old reads BONE, and the 12-year-old steals it and sneaks it into his own room now and then. Both of them have pawed through the two or three boxes of comics Hubby and I have collected over the years (though we try to keep them far from the Lobo and my magazine-size collection of ElfQuest).
Geek culture is being passed down to the next generation. ;)

Heh. I used to 'borrow' my older sister's X-men. When she wasn't home. Or when she used to leave them out. And then I'd put them back exactly where I found them.

Hell, I still did that with my older brother's comics when we were both in our late teens. And when he went to college and I got his bedroom, he left his stuff in the closet, including the little cabinet he kept his comics in. That and the extensive collection of trades the Fort Worth library system has are probably the major contributing forces to me getting back into comics after I'd mostly given 'em up when I was eleven and we moved to Texas.
