Do you think comics are children's or adult genre/media?
According to Varnum(2001) that comics is one of the most popular and pervasive media forms of our increasingly visual age. The world popular can explain that comics is an art form what is without age limit. The only different a comics for children and adult is the difference understanding. May just some beautiful picture from children's view of adult can find political satire or deeper meaning from the text.
As and example, Tintin has proved a wide age group from children first learning to read to aged Tingtinophiles. Each finds their ownlevel of understanding and appreciation (Farr, 1991).
To Sum up, I believe that there has no age limit for comics.
