There is a difference between what is a 'personal opinion' and a 'cultural phenomenon.' The Three Musketeers are not widely recognized as comic book heroes, but Tarzan is. This is not opinion, this is fact.
If you allude to something that is already ingrained in a culture you cannot say that is merely personal opinion and ignore the cultural context.
Scat already got in trouble with me because in his definition of the 'Adventure' genre he includes something as distinct and cultural well defined as the 'Crime' drama genre. They are two different things.
If you write a book on the history of comics and don't mention Tarzan comics, your book would be incomplete. If you don't mention Three Musketeers comics no one will miss them (you should however mention Classics illustrated.). If you are writing a book on Tarzan movies and don't mention Tarzan comics, no one will miss them.
