I'm only 24 so I like to think I'm still close enough to 17 to still remember what it was like. Besides, I could just fake it and get away with it... it's not like there are any teenagers that still read comics.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I came to comic books when I was about 15.
I used to read comics when I was a kid.
I could go through a lot of my old emails from when I first started doing comics. Back then the lowest age of fans was like 15 or 16 up to people in their 20's and 30's.
I never was really into comics as a child, and I think if you miss the boat when you're a kid, you don't necessarily pick up on it when you're an adult.
That's what I really wanted to do when I was 16, be in comics!
I never envisioned when I was reading that comic as a 17-year-old that I would have the opportunity to actually play the character.
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.
I love comics. I like to do everything I used to do when I was 14-years-old.
I found one remaining box of comics which I had saved. When I opened it up and that smell came pouring out, that old paper smell, I was struck by a rush of memories, a sense of my childhood self that seemed to be contained in there.
When I wrote my first story, all the characters were teenagers because I think 16, 17 is a great age.
