When a boy I borrowed my best friend's Superman comics, at the age of 9 or so I moved on to reading books with a very small number of pictures: Enid Blyton 'The Famous Five' series and the Adventure series of books (The Valley of Adventure etc). The age of 12 moved to science fiction books - which I still read.

So the Marvel comics and films were beyond my scope.

However, I enjoy the X-men films

He says superheroes are perfectly fine for 12 or 13-year-olds but adults should think again.

The writer claims adults enjoy superhero films because they don't wish to leave their "relatively reassuring childhoods" behind, or move into the 21st century.

He's a bizarre character but has a hell of a CV. Particularly in comics/graphic novels.
