I read comics a lot. Recently though I've been getting them from the library in graphic novel form. I started collecting comics for "sleepy girl" scenes. I knew I liked from The Avengers on TV. But after a while some became favorites. I also grew to like certain artists so I became a comic fan as well. But now I wait until till most comics hit the library.

I don't believe all knockout fans are male. Knew a girl once who told me she enjoyed seeing Batman (Adam West) get knocked out. Alos she told me about several scenes in the animated stories of Batman when he got knocked. At first I thought she was just patronizing me because she knew I enjoyed this fantasy also. But later I saw some of the scenes just as she had described them and I believe she was sincere about it. She would roleplay with me on the phone. She loved to roleplay as Black Canary and loved it. So did I of course.

I started reading comics (Spider-man) when I was really young and discovered this fetish through comics. But first and foremost I like reading comcics as pieces of story-telling and entertainment. I think its hard to explain to somebody who doesn't like comics that much how good they CAN be (they can be awful). I'd say (and I'm not exactly an expert) read the JM Staczynski run on Amazing Spider-man (starting issue 30) and maybe one of the famous graphic novels, like Watchmen or the Dark Knight Returns. (I think "graphic novel" is a silly term... it's still just a comic, and there's nothing wrong with comics.)

The side of me that's in to sleepy stuff is totally different to the side of me that is a comic-fan. None of the comics I'd call my favourites are ones which prominently feature hot women getting knocked out, tied up and stuff. I do love stuff like that, but its separate. Similarly, I'm guessing most people that like sleepy stuff don't only watch tv in the hope of finding KO and bondage. Basically, when I want to read a comic, I try to find a good comic. When I want this stuff, I come to this site.

Interesting perspective. It seems a lot of people discovered this fetish during the Silver Age of comics. TV at the time also had a lot of KO's.

By the way, you haven't formally introduced yourself Lonely!

Graphic Novels , Yes

Watchmen is about a deep as it gets

it would have been a great story even without
the artwork

Watchmen is my favorite piece of literature of all time.

Relevant to this subject: picked up volume 1 of Ms Marvel in trade paperback, not motivated by trying to fing KO scenes (there are a couple by the way, not amazing.) It's alright, not great, I'm hoping volume 2 picks up the pace with the Civil War arc.

For me I havent been a huge comic reader. I mean, the super heroes I like is either from the cartoons or movies I have watched. Of course, watching a watching a movie has inspired me to read the actual comic it was frome. (sin city is a perfect example of that). Also one big reason why is there is so many spin off's of the charcters in comics. It's hard to even know whitch comic is even worth my time reading.

I seem to be in the minority here; I'm a huge comic book reader, and while I might pick something up for the sleepy/bondage scenes, for the most part, that's a secondary concern for me. I tend to read comics very thoroughly, and stuff like cool characters and plots are of major importance to me (though I am more of a Marvel reade than a DC one). I too suffer from the problem of books overflowing with comics, but one of these days, I'll send off a bunch of them to my local library, maybe get some new people interested in the medium.
