Have Senior Citizens found that the comics they read as youngsters has made some impact on their life?

No, I don't recall anything I read in a comic book as having an impact on my life but one did have an effect on my son when he was a youngster. He was a fan of Superman and decided he could fly. We allowed him to use a towel for a cape and he stood at the top of the stairs and jumped thinking who would fly. Luckily for everyone he didn't hurt himself and we all had a good laugh.
