A lot of people think comic books are a waste of time,
but I discovered when I looked at the Archie comics
and started buying them for my daughters that they are
very well-written. I didn't notice that when I read
them myself as a kid, but when I gave them to my
daughters I noticed that the vocabulary used was quite
sophisticated--multisyllabic, not dumbed down.
