I think one of the most telling things about comics is that fact they never really went though a "just for kids" phase in it's history. Even the comic that were "For Kids" seemed to a connection to more adult readers. It's hard to say if this is connected more to just simply the different cultures from the US vs most of Europe or if it has something to with just how they view the media.
Comics are almost treated just as a normal book there, sold in the same places as novels or non-fiction which is kind crazy to think about when you think about how most book store simply have a rack or two labeled comics or graphic novels. Most of the material we read was taken very seriously which maybe my biggest takeaway. It's easy to see comics just being taken more seriously, or at least treated like a normal thing.
