Glen Weldon has a fun little piece about what comics taught him when he was a 6-year-old in 1974, three years before my existence on the planet earth. Weldon talks about learning words like enigma, heist, nemesis, rogues, mountebanks, yeggs, invulnerable, exoskeleton, cowl, tunic, and a host of other neat-o words from reading super-hero comics.
The comments section is just as intriguing to read as the article. Check it out.
And why might the article have me happy? Well, who is to say I'm not working on a comics-and-vocabulary project as we speak??? ;)
