Bam, Ow, Ahhh - Bugger Comics

Standard piece on check out what the kids are reading, though it seems a bit out of date, who the hell likes Lobo, these days? (Though the Bisley Issues were Kewl!). Who admits to reading Garfield, no matter the age?

And its not even saying this is what the kids are reading, its what the 20 and 30 year olds are reading. No mention of manga, either, which is odd these days. Because kids love manga! Everyone else love -
"Suicide, depression, incest, black magic, terrorism - no matter how sleazy or dark - you can now find it in some comics," Mr McCredie said.
