Are women comic book fans as rare as unicorns?

 

By now, anyone who has anything to do with comics ought to know that women are a big part of that world.

 

It’s certainly no surprise to Brian Jacoby, who owns Secret Headquarters and Games in Tallahassee, Florida. Since opening his shop almost five years ago, he’s seen plenty of female customers walk through the door on a regular basis.

 

Several months ago, however, Jacoby began pondering the outdated perception that women who read comics are scarce. When DC announced in May that it would re-launch all of its titles, there was much online discussion about how female characters would fare and whether major publishers gave much thought to their female customers.

I believe unicorns to be magestic, beautiful creatures. Female comic collectors.. not so much.

 

Although Sharon is head and shoulders nicer than 90% of the other members her, and gets 100% respect.
