10 Mistakes Non-Comic Book Fans Make About Comic Books

2. Thinking All Comic Fans Are Nerds

Stereotypically, comic book fans are depicted as nerds. Programmes like CBS's "The Big Bang Theory" don't help the matter, as it still depicts comic book fans - the titular characters Leonard Hofstadter, Sheldon Cooper, Howard Wolowitz and Rajesh Koothrappali - as huge geeky nerds. However, it really isn't the case that only nerds like comic books. For evidence of this, look no further than the world of celebrity. The likes of Nicolas Cage, Rosario Dawson, Megan Fox, Seth Meyers, Bill Hader, Jonathan Ross, CM Punk and Robin Williams are all huge fans of comic books - and they're hardly your typical group of nerdy basement dwellers are they?! The same is often thought of the people who create the comics and, like the readers, that isn't true at all either. Some of the coolest people around are comic book artists and writers.
