Parents remember when comics cost 25¢, 35¢, 75¢ and aren't willing to throw down the $4-$7 the books on that rack are selling for. My LCS stopped carrying children's books because they don't sell. He keeps some on hand for those occasions when a parent brings their child in but they're either dated copies or he gives them leftover FCBD stock. My parents used to pick me up Richie Rich and Archie books all the time. Richie Rich got me into collecting. The industry could price books lower, but I guess the dozen $5.99 Batman-related titles and 2 dozen $3.99 Spider-man related titles make more bank. |

| I guess I still can't get over the idea that "kids'" comics have to be separated from "regular" comics. The idea that kids' comics don't pay the bills presupposes that a 10-year old can't read the X-Men and Batman books on the racks. Is that because we think kids don't have the disposable income for it, or is it because kids just wouldn't be interested in buying the decompressed, crossover-event-driven, shock-gimmick, variant cover driven marketplace? | ||

Lol as a kid in the 90, dude there was the clone Spider-Man saga uh no thank you they had xmen executioners song  no thank you I did buy some of the gimmick foil and hologram covers. But yeah I didn’t real have a lot of money to spend as a kid and not a lot of yards needed mowed in the winter time guess I could of shovel drive ways but it didn’t snow that much but yeah now do kids still go around the neighborhood trying to mow peoples yards for a few extra bucks I haven’t seen any but that don’t mean they don’t do that but that’s how I got comic book money or money in general back in the day but times are different I recon |

| @jake @xkonk Awesome, thanks for posting the pics (love that spinner rack!) My faith is renewed  I also took a picture from my LCS yesterday of the kids section. It's small, but so is the store. At least there are some. |

| There is a really great mini series for kids now published by Red 5 comics called Beorn - The Littlest Viking. Never mind that the writer/artist is a good friend of mine.  |
