Great For Any Child's Development

I love Super-Heroes, it's fair to say. I've been an avid inhaler of comics since I was little. More seen as a 'Boy' thing I think, but mum and dad were happy to feed my addiction...

I used to trawl the old comic shops to get the older magazines and collections..they might not be as high tech or glossy as the newer books but it's always been the stories that got to me, not the flash stuff...

I've always been pretty strict in being a Marvel Girl, really. D.C just never did it for me.

With the comics, the cartoons when I was growing up and then finally the established movies and TV series my love of superheroes has just grown and grown.

Favs? X-Men, Wolverine, Spider-Man,Fantastic Four amongst others....

It's modern folklore....morality stories.

I love them. They help us dream....and believe.

Do yourself a favor and try finding a copy of "Metal Men", a lighthearted silver age comic.

@SarahTheHooker My childhood heroes! They are lovely. They are robots with human properties, which is their biggest flaw.
The comic books were published in the 1960's.

@helenS Ha ha! .......I always felt sorry for Tina..........

@fancyboy … with her never-ending crush on Doc, because of her faulty responsometer!
I'm surprised you know what I'm talking about.

@helenS It's been decades since I read the 70s reprints of Metal Men, but I still remember most of the stories!

@fancyboy In 2015 there were rumors that Barry Sonnenfeld would make a Metal Men movie.

@helenS That! - would be very cool............

@helenS I'd love to see a Challengers Of The Unknown movie - while they're at it!
