Links: Old comics in antique stores

January 9, 2010 by Brigid Alverson   Leave a Comment

ALA Midwinter is just around the corner, and I and several other Good Comics for Kids bloggers will be there. Drop us a line at wordballoons (at) gmail.com if you want to meet up.

Straight from the horse’s mouth: Kristy Valenti interviews some actual children about their taste in comics. This made me feel old:

[Kristy] What comics do you have?

Michael: I’ve never really had any, but I usually go around town and look at these old antique stores where I read them. I sit there for hours reading these old comics that I find in there.

Zack Smith talks to Kazu Kibuishi about the print edition of Copper.

New at the Archie News blog: Previews of upcoming comics, Archie dates one of the Pussycats, and Archie gets his own postage stamp (with Betty and Veronica, of course).

Out from the Comic Shop presents this week’s kid-friendly comics.

English teacher Allen Porter explains how he taught a high school course on graphic novels as literature at Graphic Novel Reporter.

Recognizing a significant unmet need, Bluewater announces that they will publish a Lady Gaga bio-comic.

Tangognat has some suggestions for manga that might appeal to a boy who likes Archie.

Matt Phelan’s The Storm in the Barn is the winner of the 2010 Scott O’Dell award for historical fiction. Horn Book editor Roger Sutton then addresses the question of whether graphic novels are eligible for various awards; an interesting discussion regarding e-books springs up in comments.
