My 12 year old nephew is very interested in comic books thus my 6 year old niece is also interested in comic books. It seems fairly harmless. Remember the years of Archie, Jughead, Veronica, and Betty? How about Donald Duck?
That's not what they're interested in reading though; they like all sorts of adventure comics I've never heard of before. Oh, and Simpsons. Who knew there were Bart Simpson comics? Their Dad brought them to a comic book store in Green Bay and let them pick out their own comic books.
Abbie is six and going into first grade in the fall but she's already reading. She loves to read to anyone who will listen and I was obliging her and helping her with unfamiliar words in her comic book.
On the first page she was reading to me she needed help sounding out "sexier." Oops, at least she didn't ask what it meant. At the top of the next page the character, Super Girl I believe, is bending suggestively over a pool table.
Abbie said "I don't know why she always wears shirts like this." "Like this" means a halter top of sorts showing off her tattoos. Then she began reading "Don't tell me I have a nice a**"
Oh Jughead, where are you?

From Jughead to Jugs. What next?!
Yeah, what Beth said. How are you, Beth?! I used to like Richie Rich, too.
Hahahaha. Abbie told me tonight that she thinks the Supergirl comic is "unappropriate" for her, because "it has a word for teenagers in it." I told her that since she's already read it and her brain hasn't exploded from it, plus she's heard that word before but knows not to use it, that it would be okay to keep it in her "collection".
However, when we went through Little Rock today, we found another comic store where I steered her to some titles a little closer to her maturity level. ;-) Yes...Richie Rich and Donald Duck were some of them.
