The actual American comics that I encountered in my youth - say, up to the age of about 10 or 11 - were overwhelmingly DC. I liked Flash, Batman, the JLA in particular. However, in the same period my exposure to Marvel was by way of (as my memory tells me) more traditional English comics with a Marvel tilt, with several characters in each comic, but shorter stories and a variety of formats. They used to have a full page picture at the back with a hero or villain, which I'd tear out and tape to my door or wall. Preferred the Fantastic Four to X-Men. Liked Thor and Spiderman but not so much Iron Man or Hulk. At the age of 10 or 11 I discovered other things, notably football and girls, and left all the above behind - until Tim Burton's Batman raised its cowled head and re-kindled a vague interest. I've probably seen most superhero films since then and enjoy DC and Marvel in equal proportions. It still sits well behind football and girls, though. TG
