Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I was born in 1972 and never read comics. I knew the Adam West Batman (in reruns), watched Wonder Woman with Lynda Carter, saw Superman, and remember Superfriends on '80s Saturday cartoons (I liked the Wonder Twins). I had never heard of Iron Man until the recent movie, and had only the vaguest notions of Thor and Captain America. (Hulk, a little harder to miss.) And I'd consider myself comics-adjacent thanks to many of you.

I was born in 1964, but flea's experience is pretty much mine, except I loathed the Wonder Twins. And I watched The Incredible Hulk because I thought Bill Bixby was cute. I had a vague knowledge that Captain America existed, but had no idea they were still writing comics about him until recently.

Which makes me wander off to Wikipedia, since I want to know when they latched onto this whole "sleep until the future" thing.

I gotta ask. How many of you who didn't read comics as kids had brothers? I read comics all through the 60s and some of the 70s. But I don't know if I would have if my brothers hadn't bought them and I kind of followed along starting when I was around six. So I was always aware of most of the superheroes out there even if I didn't read that particular comic and enjoyed all the shows and movies as they came along.

I didn't read comics as a kid. I remember thumbing through some X-Men comics once, but the only comics I read were ones I got in India that were about Akbar and Birbal and such. And some Archie comics that my aunt had. My comics knowledge came from the animated serieses. It was only in college that I really got into comics, thanks to my pusher.

I gotta ask. How many of you who didn't read comics as kids had brothers?

Me, for one. I knew the Silver Surfer existed because my brother read those, but he didn't share.
