Well, my first comic laughter was when I picked up that MAD Magazine. Sigh~ I didn't really get their jokes at first, but what does a Malaysian six-year-
old girl know?
Then, it was the big guns, Marvel and DC Comics.
How I love the female superheroes, but the males were pretty good to read to. But there was one about this playboy in which I took a look at. Wow~ It was just so full of the Casanova/Adventure Story.
Then, the last comic I remembered up to now is about a family of superheroes. It looked like a spin-off from Fantastic Four, but the heroine is a girl with a lava-rock monster for a dad. It was good, but I forgot the name.
It was good so far, being entertained by comics. Then, I met Garfield. Then, Baby and Me. All thanks to the wonderful world of Newspaper Comic Strips. It gives me laughs on a mundane day.
After my entire childhood devoted of comics, I turned to *drum roll
* MANGA!
It was glorious.
Actually, my manga experience was again due to my uncle. He brought me to Kinokunia and it became my second home. I tried to read Ranma 1/2, but the customer helper said I was too young (I was 8 years old, or 10 years old)
I didn't touch manga again until I was 11 or 12 years old.
Then, I found out about Gempak Stars Magazines and their Malay-translated Manga. I was swooped away by manga.
Then, I realize that Doreamon, which I had been reading for years is a Manga. Waddaya know?
Then, Nad borrowed me her Ouran High School Host Club and I was in for bigger names than Gempak Starz. Now, I target DelRay or Shojo Beat.
Rarely do I go for Tokyo Pop.
Now, my Fav is CY for giving me inexpensive manga to read in ENGLISH translation. Oh Singapore, you made yourself worthy to a Malaysia again, but seriously, it's not that hard.
Now, My life with Comics will soon go on as I just signed up for GOComics.Com
Will I ever stop?
I don't think so... xD
So True~
