Hi Neill, Iām new here thanks to my son who devoured one of your Mega Robo Bros books we found at a Hampshire library yesterdayā¦ he read the thing TWICE!! Itās my job now to become obsessed š we are lucky enough to have a school that fully encourages comics and the creating there of. We came across your books through Phoenix. We canāt get enoughā¦ hoping to approach our school to introduce more of what you do. Please help! Psā¦ comics = literacy āš¼ cheers Jana
I find it continually strange that people put so much effort into criticising/dismissing artforms that they don't read/watch/etc themselves - which by default means they're ill-informed and not really in a position to cast judgement on the artform.
There are lots of musical genres I don't like, but I wouldn't think to try to argue to fans that the genre somehow "doesn't count".
Though, actually, this is worse, because it's not even specific to a genre but to an entire form. Much the same as the dismissal of video games. Although in that latter case it's largely a generational thing, and seems to be finally shifting away from the silliness of the 90s and 2000s. It's weird that comics STILL have this problem, given how mature and old a medium it is.
