I didn’t grow up with comic books, rather comic stripes. I’ve enjoyed Ziggy, Peanuts, Pearls Before Swine, B.C., and Get Fuzzy to name a few.
I enjoy all Marvel comics !
Wow, Rocco, you covered a lot of ground! Thanks for all of the great interviews and sneak peeks at new books.
Favorite comic way back in the day? Archie and Friends :)

Sunday comics! Garfield was my favorite, along with peanuts my oldest child enjoys graphic novels, though, and I’ve read a few for YA that I didn’t mind!
My favorite comic when growing up was Calvin and Hobbs. Still think they’re adorable and so true!
