RE: Getting my head around comics
I always liked when people took up new thing, I try to do so myself as often as possible. It shows a curiosity for the world and it is always rewarding in some way.
In the eighties we really was living through comics - the wave of French comic artists around Metal Hurlant was very big inspirations for us. The US superheros also played their part, but you are right the serialised nature of these comics often make them just as hard to get into as if you started watching Dynasty in the middle of season five.
Through my daughter I have been reading some Japanese manga and some of them are magnificent (also a lot of crap of course) and they can also be enjoyed as film. That has been one of the adventures I have set out on these last years.
Glad Steemit has made you re-investigate this niche of art.
Thanks for inspiring me to get into this. The limiting factor tends to be time as there's so much I want to do and read.
Yes, I know that problem. We will only know a little corner of the whole picture - but on the other hand, our life-expectancy is very much increased compared to our parents and grandparents. We will have some immobile years in the far end where we can read some crazy old comics .
