Grown men serving in WWII were reading comic books while crossing the Rhine and finishing off Hitler. In the early 60's Marvel Comics, the publishers of that Spiderman page on eBay you've referenced, actually aimed at an older college level audience by creating entertaining stories which delved into complex social and personal subjects rarely approached before in the medium. Note: There are exceptions, the most notable being EC's science fiction comics published in the 1950's, but let's keep it simple and not go into another area about which you're apparently unfamiliar.The bottom line is that there's no shame in reading/collecting comics any more than there is appreciating movies derived from them. Comic books are an art form which combine words with pictures in a pseudo-cinematic form that can be appreciated by young and old alike. Although grossly misnamed, "comic books" have never been considered as a substitute for or an alternative to books by those who understand the creative effort involved in producing them, but rather they should be viewed as a separate and distinct art form.
