More like wishful thinking if I'm honest... It would make me happy if she was a comics fan. I wonder how long until DC start adding the letters to their covers?

The idea f the Queen reading The Filth is insane and also completely hilarious.

Don't be daft! She loved his New Adventures of Hitler over at 2000AD! Plus she has a signed frame copy of all the original issues of the Big Dave story arc "Monarchy in the UK" ;)
