Shallow, dumb hot take. I was given stern looks as a kid going into hobby stores as a kid, too. The only comics I got to readily touch was at a supermarket, and even there I'd get chastised by adults from time to time if I got too kid-like. Turns out stores don't like kids destroying merchandise. Find a store that is more friendly to your kid, or just ignore the silly store person and teach your kid to respect items and the value of some things and let them look around. There is plenty of comics - a massive amount, really - aimed at kids. My son has read a bunch of them, far more than when I was his age.
