I understand that. I
was expecting answers to differ depending on a user's experience/opinion. It would depend on the comic book of course, but I would say usually late primary/early secondary education level.

JLPT 1 expects a level of fluency strong enough to read a newspaper in Japan, which I would think is equivalent to the level required over in the UK to enjoy broadsheet.
I expect a fair difference in language fluency between reading a comic book and reading a broadsheet.
I did say "Naruto". I'm sorry I couldn't ask for anything more specific (other than (roughly) the number of vocabulary and Kanji needed.).
