If you’re under the impression comics are only for kids, you may be surprised to learn there’s actually a graphic novel for just about everybody. In fact, Comics Elite in Indianapolis, IN, the area’s leading comic shop, has all kinds of customers on a daily basis. Here, they discuss three major audiences comic books are aimed at.

Who’s Reading Comic Books?

1. Adult Males 

Comics have always been popular among men, especially nowadays, with such a large variety to choose from. Many older male comic readers visit stores looking for the classics they fell in love with as a kid, like Batman™, Captain America™, and Ninja Turtles™; others enjoy more recent comics, like Do You Pooh™, or Zenescope’s Zombie vs. Cheerleaders™. Either way, there are a host of different choices out there, so it’s easy to come across a genre or artist that catches your eye.

2. Kids & Young Adults

Kids and young adults have always been the most abundant group of comic readers, picking up everything from the Bane™ series to the famous Justice League Unlimited™. Brands like Archie Comics™ and Uncle Scrooge™ are also still incredibly popular, both for their broad appeal to readers of all ages, as well as their strong ties to the traditional comics many were raised on. Teen Titans™ is another growing franchise that is particularly attractive to young adults, giving them a chance to imagine themselves living the double life of their favorite superheroes. 

3. Young Women 

Gone are the days where one had to search high and low to find a female superhero. With comics such as Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane™, Amelia Rules™, and Amazing Spider Girl™, a whole new generation of young women are being drawn to comics. New female comic creators and artists keep cropping up every day to level out the historically male-dominated industry as well as inspire a new generation of female readers.
