Quite amusing how the journalist refers to 'grown men' in the hobby as if it's childish and 'nerdy'.
A bit of a stigma our kind of hobby has always had to endure.
Oh well - I'm 62, going on 12. Very happy too.
And yes, I love Dan Dare, Asterix and Tintin. Also have a collection of around 1500 Mickey mouse and Donald duck comics going back to the '30's.... My favourite has to be 'Mickey mouse outwits the Phantom Blot'.
Yup - Big kid.
Roy.
