>‘‘See that guy over there?’’ a thirteen year old asked me as he pointed to an overweight teenager perusing the racks at Yesteryear’s Heroes. ‘‘ He is your typical comics geek. Probably no friends, no life. He’s here every new comics day and he never misses a convention.’’ When I asked how my informant knew all this about the other customer if he had never spoken to him, he said without a hint of irony, ‘‘Because I always see him here and I almost always bump into him at the cons.’’
Have you ever met any comic fans like this?
Who are you quoting?
>>83959878
Obviously that kid he was talking to.

Black Superheroes, Milestone Comics, and Their Fans by Jeffrey A. Brown

but a 13 year old kid buying comics is less nerdy then an overweight teen doing the same
>>83959944
But the overweight one can do this
>>83959915
someone felt a need to write a book about this?

The quote was part of a chapter talking about the culture of comic fans.

I have.
That's literally the owner of the local comic shop. Always talking about how he hates comicbook "nerds", how they're stupid for spending all their money there, literally while giving me shit for not spending enough, and talking smack about his hige collection, abd the fact that he fucking runs a comic shop. He's an asshole, and there's no local alternative

so come on OP why don't you tell us the truth
at the last con you were at a guy you knew when you were both thirteen showed up
and he said oh my god i can't believe it you haven't changed one bit and you're still mad into comic books i bet you've never done anything else with your life
and then he laughed and slapped your mom's ass and walked away
and that man was Chris Evans

>>83959849
Wait but wouldn't that person have been there the same days and go to the cons too to see him
>>83963030
