Sikh Comics Readers?

Please note that this is ONLY if you feel up to it in light of the recent tragedy, and ONLY if you are 100% comfortable, but I am curious to know if I have any Sikh readers here on Tumblr.

It’s not for vanity, I just would like to know, just to know if Western comics have much visibility in this community. There are about 500,000 people in the US (apologies, by the way, got this number way wrong and was corrected so have made an edit here), according to sources, yesterday, but I am ignorant of how many readers in comics identify as Sikh. Additionally, are there any Sikh characters of significance at the major companies?

Thank you. PLEASE only respond if you feel completely comfortable. And of course my thoughts are with the victims of the Wisconsin terrorist, and their families, in this horrible time.
