I spent a lot of my childhood reading Marvel superhero comics. I think the first one I read was the UK weekly Secret Wars comic although I also read Spiderman and Zoids. Prior to that I read the Beano and Battle Action Force, Star Wars Weekly and Transformers Weekly. I loved it all and it was all mind rotting garbage but in a good way. Comic books and punk rock made me who I am today.
I was always a bit of an obsessive kid, always wanting to read more and know more and understand more. I'm still a bit like that which is good and bad. I was into Marvel in a big way, I read the official handbook of the marvel universe cover to cover and I learned all about the crazy, colourful minor characters of the Marvel Universe including all of the B listers and the C listers, like the Vision and the Scarlet Witch.
Now the Vision and the Scarlet Witch had a couple of limited series published in America in the early '80s and the stories in those comics were very off the wall. Some of the weirdest comics out there with a mind bending storyline. Definitely not mainstream and probably the product of some serious drugs. Bad hippy drugs.
And it seems that Disney have made that mad shit into a TV series.
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.....
