Hey, It's Kids With Comics!

My friend Rob is a blogging maniac. Not content to have only a personal blog, he also runs the internet's definitive blog devoted to Aquaman.
Yes.
Aquaman.
When he's not writing about collectible Aquaman drinking cups, he updates a slew of other blogs devoted to every printed comic format known to mankind- digests, magazines, treasury editions.
Rob and I share the same lament about comic books- that they no longer hold a large place in kids culture (these kids today with their video games..grumble kvetch gripe). His latest blog moves away from showcasing comic books and Aquaman figures. Instead it celebrates fandom itself. Hey Kids Comics is a series of remembrances and anecdotes about, that's right, reading comic books. There are stories from pros and fans. And one pulse pounding true tale of suspense and justice from yours truly. Oh, and a lot of old b&w pics of kids dressed like Dennis The Menace reading Captain Marvel books.
Go relive the good old days HERE.
