The word "adult" is used once in that post and in context it is about how a 12 year old thought the comics were meant for adults. Where do you get the idea that Miller's reputation is "comics for adults"? The author, for example, read them as a child. My impression is that mostly these comics are read by teen boys. If your impression is that they are read by adults then I suppose one of us would need to bring in some data to break the impasse. If I wanted to research it I would use the Google ad word tool to check the demographics of who searches for "Frank Miller" and his different comic books.
Miller's comics are known to be "gritty", violent, whatever. That's his style. The author liked it when she was a child and doesn't like it having grown up. That seems not too remarkable to me.
- tptacek 5y agoAre you familiar with Miller or do you come by your understanding of him just from this piece? Because Miller is like, on the vanguard of the "comics for adults" movement. It would be like saying Salvador Dalí is known for his surrealist work; it hardly needs a cite.
