Links: The return of Super Duck

September 9, 2009 by Brigid Alverson   1 comments

The Sequential Tart writers recommend some comics for the classroom, with brief descriptions of each.

The Archie folks are reviving some classic characters this fall. If you have been pining for Super Duck or Cosmo the Merry Martian, now’s your big chance!

Raina Telgemeier posts a preview page from her upcoming graphic novel Smile.

Bluewater Comics, home of the Female Force comics, has announced their latest line of bio-comics: Rock ‘n’ Roll Comics. The line kicks off with Hard Rock Heroes in December.

Wesley Smith’s 9-year-old niece would rather read Blackest Night than Betty and Veronica. Sounds like me at that age. (Via When Fangirls Attack.)

New blog find: Out from the Comic Shop — Comics in the Classroom, which chronicles a teacher’s use of Jeff Smith’s Bone and other comics in the classroom. The content includes teacher-oriented reviews, new comics lists, and a review of The Cartoonist, a documentary film about Jeff Smith.

Knights of the Lunch Table author Frank Cammuso will be at Ithacon this weekend.

Here’s the last masthead from Nick Magazine. *Choke* I miss them already.
