... If you remember when a certain event in your life happened by asking yourself what comic you were reading at the time. (I drive my wife nuts with that!!!  ) I bought Captain America Annual(Special)#2, Jan 1972 at a 7-11 to have something to read in the car when I had to go to an out of town funeral with my parents. RIP in Grandma. Wow. Just...wow. |

if what you read and whatt you loved reading makes you train yourself to join/be accepted by the industry, for pay, against all odds  |

. . .your aol password is still POTRZEBIE. Do you mean the POTRZEBIE part or the AOL part? |

Personnal experience - you know you're acomic nerd when your significant other says (sometimes wrongly) :
"I know what's going on in your head right now : that my horses will eventually die while your belowed comics have so far proven immortal"
When her friend is asking what I'm doing when lunch is getting colder : "he's getting his ebay alerts at that time"
"Oh my god! Yes! You're finaly selling some!" when seing me putting some comics in a plastic bag.
"Even if you spend god knows how much time taking care of them, reparing their covers and such, they're not your children!"
"Weird sports comics? Are you trying to tell me something? I thought you were cool!"
"No no no : despite what you've told your friends, the reason we're going to China on holiday isn't to check if it's true that you can't find any old comics there, absolutely not!"
"You do know the first thing I'll do if you cheat on me is starting an affair with the mail guy, right?"
"We should buy a bunch of fire extinguishers so that you don't wake me up wit your nightmares anymore"
"I'm not going on tour with you in the US, ever!"
"Who the f*** is Joe Koch?"
"Yes, everything is possible, but no, we're not going there, firm no! You're finally getting some sun, so don't even try!"

If you refer to the people who work for you as "lackey", "underling" or "dolt".

You may be a comic nerd if you read this entire thread from start to finish just to check and see if you in fact are a comic book nerd...

you had to explain to a woman that 'mylar snug' was not a 'dirty' reference/thing.
you knew what an 'editor' was, and what they do, before age 10.
'retcon' is a 'four letter word' to you.
you ever played the marvel superheroes card game long before Magic the Gathering even existed.
you know how G R R Martin tried to make $$ outta super-heroes long before game of thrones.

If you refer to the people who work for you as "lackey", "underling" or "dolt". I actually used to refer to a young woman I was mentoring at a previous employer as my "minion". Does that count? |

Actually, she and I became quite good friends and she would even refer to herself by that affectation. When I left the company, her goodbye card was simply signed "Minion". |

I doubt that in 2017 there is such a thing as an un-selfcouncious comic book nerd I don't know if I agree with that. You have the rise of the superhero movies which is a new jumping off point, but I will say I am not self-conscious about it at all...probably has to do with my antisocial tendencies and subtle schadenfreude at other's disdain for my life choices. (Except I am one of the most social people I know...go figure.) |
