The Demographic Of The British Comic Book Reader – Male, Leftish, Poor, Guardian Reading, Ford Driving, Aldi Shopper
The British polling company YouGov has released a whole host of data, as well as a handy data mining app. Which means you can type in comics and discover the kind of person who says they like comics on a survey and discover what else they like.
The stereotype of comic books readers being male holds out here, as is being a bit lefty (despite reading many right wing fantasies) but it has always been assumed that fans are relatively wealthy, having plenty of disposable income to spend on their hobby.
