I am trying to remember what I was like, when I first started reading comics. I was ten years old, in 1992, and I was slowly and steadily building my knowledge of the Marvel Universe, by collecting their various Superhero Card sets. Series 1 -3, then Marvel Masterpieces, the Solo Spider-man Card series, the Solo X-men card series. What a wonderful time to be into comics! This was the proto-Wikipedia- reference Materials that also happened to be connected to some fabulous artwork. Of course ten year old me would want to buy them! What would ten year old me think of a Riri Williams card? Would I like the design of her suit? Would I be intrigued that she was African American, or would I automatically lose interest, since I was a ten year old suburban white boy? I will admit that I probably would be intrigued, but I most likely wouldn't pursue the series, unless she was featured in a cool cartoon, like the 90s X-men cartoon show, or Batma...
