The derogatory sense of "manchildren" is intrinsic to the concept, you can't invent new words to try to avoid it, tho a genderless version is needed.

Adults buying comics quietly kept that industry humming along through the 80s into now, which lead to a speculator bubble in the 90s

where can I read more about this?

Unfortunately, there aren't exactly a lot of books about the Comics Crash of 1996. Most of the history I know is relayed to me through people who were more cognizant of what was happening at the time or stuff I cobbled together from various websites. If you google "Comics Crash 1996" you'll find several breakdowns of what happened.
