You can look at a cover circa 1960-1990 and almost immediately tell who drew it.

...you've named one or more of your children after a comic book character. ...if you've ever driven an hour or more for the sole purpose of attending a comic book show/convention or checking out a comic shop you'd heard about (bonus nerd points if it's more than 3 hours). ...the only store you went shopping at on Black Friday was a comic book store (bonus nerd points if you hit more than one). ...you're over the age of 12 and own a shirt with a comic book character on it. Cumulative nerd points for each one owned greater than one. Youngest daughter is named after Supergirl. Gone to several cons that were 2 hrs away. Never go anywhere on Black Friday! I feel like Sheldon. Over 50% of my t shirts have comic book characters on them. |

If the number of longboxes you own is higher than your age, you might be a comic book nerd.
If you have a dartboard with Rob Liefeld's (among others) photo in the bullseye, you might be a comic book nerd.
If you insisted on having Fred Hembeck draw your family portrait, you might be a comic book nerd.
If you wear a cape to a job interview, you might be a comic book nerd.
If you know how many copies of Thor sold in 1974, you might be a comic book nerd.
If you know the color code for the blue part of Superman's costume in the 1982 DC Comics Style Guide, you might be a comic book nerd.

...your closet has more long boxes than clothing in it.
...you have sat in one of the Batmobiles. Sad to say this, I have worked in a Comic Book Store as a volunteer, had artwork on my walls as decoration, have long boxes that occupies half of my walk-in closet, and sat in Adam West's Batmobile and Micheal Keaton's Batmobile at one point in my life. It's true everyone ... |
