I was a very sickly kid. While I was in the hospital at age 7, my Dad brought me a stack of comic books to keep me occupied. I was hooked.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was into comic books as a kid.
I love comic books and always did as a kid.
I used to read comics when I was a kid.
I definitely was a big comic collector as a kid.
I had a few comics, but I was by no means a huge aficionado. I was more of a 'Mad Magazine,' 'Calvin & Hobbes' sort of nerd.
I grew up with my uncle's comic books at my grandma's house, so I've always loved my comic book reading.
We didn't have television until I was about eight years old, so it was either the movies or radio. A lot of radio drama. That was our television, you know. We had to use our imagination. So it was really those two things, and the comics, that I immersed myself in as a child.
I was not an avid comic book reader as a kid.
I didn't really grow up a comic book fanatic. I was a big baseball player, and my passion in life, in third grade, was collecting baseball cards. That was my childhood thing.
I came to comic books when I was about 15.
