"We only publish comics for 45 year olds" - DC Comics

Asked by Yang if he had tried to do an all-ages book with a franchise character, Pope said he did test the waters, only to be knocked back. "Batman did pretty well, so I sat down with the head of DC Comics. I really wanted to do 'Kamandi [The Last Boy on Earth]', this Jack Kirby character. I had this great pitch… and he said 'You think this is gonna be for kids? Stop, stop. We don't publish comics for kids. We publish comics for 45-year olds. If you want to do comics for kids, you can do 'Scooby-Doo.' And I thought, 'I guess we just broke up.'" - http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=47143

Well at least they're not trying to copy Marvel.

Implying kids don't read their comics, anyway.

@Mecha copying MARVEL would be great, MARVEL is destroying DC in comic sales because they are trying to make their comics appeal to a wide range, instead of 45 year old men. MARVEL also aren't fucking with the writers stories and fucking it up so bad that they quit the job.

I totally get what he's saying as a 29 year old i love DC comics everything about marvel to me is just childish
