I remember looking on jealously in 9th grade while all the guys in the class traded graphic novels, and I finally asked one of them if I could borrow theirs (ended up reading Dark Phoenix Saga, Dark Knight Returns, Infinity Gauntlet, Death of Superman).
Aww, that's cute. Dark Phoenix is X-Men, right? I vaguely remember that animated series (OK, sometimes I still like cartoons on Saturday mornings). I remember Evil Willow got a "Dark Phoenix time" reference in the script....
The really funny thing is that my boyfriend has zero knowledge of comics, with the exception of Tintin. I nearly dropped dead with laughter the day I discovered he had no idea who Bruce Wayne was.
HEH. Tim's not that bad, butyeah, he really doesn't know comics either -- I think he was a little nonplussed once when I got a lot of Neil Gaiman books all at once. I think he was into comics when he was a kid, but it really didn't stick.
