Anderson on Comic-Con: 'It's Part of My Geekiness'

Friday, July 13, 2012 -- 8:00 AM


In a web exclusive, Anderson Cooper talks about Comic-Con 2012, and his love for superheroes and collecting comics, revealing, "It's just part of my geekiness."

Although Anderson has never attended Comic-Con, he says he would like to go, and would even wear a costume -- something he did frequently as a child. "In college I had this idea that it would be fun to wear costumes to work, like a big bunny suit every day, just put your big bunny feet on the desk…"


He also recalls going to comic book conventions as a kid with his brother, Carter. "I was a big comic book collector as a kid, in fact, I used to sell comic books." Watch the video to find out more, and which superheroes he favored!
