My earliest memories are of reading Rupert Bear, American comic books Batman, Superman, Weird Planets, Creepy Worlds, Sinister Tales, Mad magazine, Kid Montana, Kid Colt: Outlaw and also Dick Tracy.
I first read it in my teens and I didn't get it. I didn't like the hero Holden Caulfield; he was an annoying, overprivileged brat who didn't have a good word for anyone.
When I realised all of this, the scales fell from my eyes. It enjoyably revisits the American east coast sensibilities of the mid-20th century.
I read it whenever I am in a hotel, which is quite often. Every story, the unique language of it; every hero blots his copybook, and no one comes out of it unscathed.
