I'm a weapon of mass seduction
And Satis, I disagree...comic books can definitely be art, and I rank them up there with actual literature. But of course there are degrees, Marvel comics are hardly what you'd call 'high art'.
But that goes for those gazillions dimestore girly novels at the train stations too.
I think some games are art, too. If movies and books can be art, why can't comic books? They're basically what lies between those two mediums.
