Childhood, Maturity and Love for Comics

I love comics, It's fact. It took 28 years ( yaa now you know my age :) to confess but I know that I'm not the only one who just wish to find childhood fantasy within beautiful, exotic and hilarious pages of comical fictional world.

Any person who had passed through obvious childhood had come in contact with comics world at any point in his life.Any child is more attached to this pictorial presentation of imaginative work than lots and lots of gibberish study material. I can still remember to finish my homework  as soon as possible so as I could lay my hand on new comics stealthily. It has acted as motivational force for me to accomplish things. And still people believed comics to be a taboo kind of thing not to be attached with ( yup, I'm talking about parents ).Still I like to be in the universe of Chacha Chaudhary, Nagraj, Super commando dhruva etc. in the childhood. Time has changed, world has changed, priorities were changed since then, only effect it had on my affection for comic is characters were replaced by more serious ones. Story telling was transcends from absolute fantasy to more lethal, cynical, and mature one. Persons psychological personality is reflected via his comic venture. I used to not like the batman when I was kid. I felt it too much dark and uninteresting. But now I am more attached to "The Dark Knight" than highly superficial Superman or any other superheros.      

In collage days my only link to this beautiful world had been a series of cartoon strips published in Times of India.( At that time one more obsession has begun to take me over : Gaming, there's going to be blog on this also :). I was not knowing at that time that my old love for comics was going to grape me by throat and plunged me with more force in it's own universe after graduation and some years of struggling phase. After getting an economical backbone of my own ( earning handsomely so as survival in Mumbai is not really tough ) , I just happen to come in contact with graphics novel "Joker"  and I begun to have the surge of drooling, to feel the covers of the comic and to go through brilliantly penciled and colored frames of each page. I bought it, and I fell to quicksand.

After "The Killing Joke" and "Watchmen" my appetite for graphics novels gets more voracious."Calvin and Hobbes" make me to crave for growing up again.Time has never changed, just that I am looking to this world of comics with whole new perspective as I had when I was kid. Only best part of to be grown-up is you can live out your childhood dreams without any restriction and control and that's what I'm doing it.

I LOVE COMICS.... Really.
