The demographics of comic book buyers point, generally, to those who were not necessarily favored with good leadership models growing up (think absent or neglectful fathers). Bottom line: Comic book buyers are often in want of leadership and / or solid role models - like I was growing up. To Connect with BIG Thinkers and Hear More BIG Ideas: http
