COMIC BOOKS ARE NOT RETARDED

Comic books are read for entertainment. It's that simple.

Yes, I admit I read the "childish crap" (hey! it's not) that is displayed in the bookstores. It's the only positive thing we have left, since any and all paraphernalia in the stores have words that are too big and too scary nowadays.

Comic books contain values and morals we have forgotten. They teach us lessons, such as to do good. To not trust strangers, to respect your parents, to not eat too much chocolate, to not do drugs, to support causes that are struggling to find cures for cancer.

They take you to worlds that show you that everyone is good. And I don't see why they are called "retarded" when in fact, they're not. They never were, and they never will be retarded.

They help you realize that the world can still be rebuilt to its original splendor, and I say that without the punch lines, without the color, but with a whole lot of heart and soul that the comics still have.

Do we still have that heart and soul?

I hope so...

What about MAUS? (Nazi camps) Or Calvin and Hobbes (named after two philospher's) or even the works of Kafka?

Comics are just a way of telling a story, like a movie or book. Comics can have hackwriting and cheap art or brillaint writing and excellent art. In many countries, comics have been used for years to tell novels or stories for the public to read. Even superhero comics can be great, if they're written well. Some of them are on the level of novels, hence the term graphic novel that has become overused. If you want proof, go to barnes and noble or some other books store and look at some of the better ones (Maus: A [holocaust] survivor's tale, V for Vendetta, Watchmen, The Dark Knight Returns, or any others).
