Links: Batman, Sherlock Holmes, and Persephone

August 23, 2010 by Brigid Alverson   Leave a Comment

DC announced last month that it is retooling its kids’ line, and the first issue from the new generation is The All-New Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Newsarama’s J. Caleb Mozzocco talks to writer Sholly Fisch about what has changed and what the new comic will be like.

Tough Pigs has previews of the first Muppet Sherlock Holmes comic, Muppet Snow White #4, and <a href="http://www.toughpigs.com/tms-9-preview/">The Muppet Show Comic Book #9. And at Newsarama, David Pepose interviews Patrick Storck, the writer of Muppet Sherlock Holmes.

Alex Simmons, the founder and guiding light behind Kids Comic Con and the Color of Comics exhibit, wants to take his show on the road—all the way to Senegal, where he has been invited to participate in a cultural festival. He is raising money via Kickstarter to fund the trip.

Persephone

George O’Connor shares a drawing of Persephone from the book he is working on, Hades: The Wealthy One.

Crogan’s Vengeance creator Chris Schweizer gives us a tour of his studio and a peek at some Hessians in progress.

At Comic Attack, Drew McCabe makes a good point: Kids can’t buy kids’ comics if they can’t find them. He would like to see them back on the newsstand, but a kid-friendly comics retailer points out in comments that digital is probably the way to go.

No surprises here: The one millionth visitor to the Kyoto Manga Museum was a 12-year-old girl from Los Angeles.

Back to school: Chris Wilson has good things to say about Professor Garfield, a comics website for schools.

New blog alert: Girls Love Graphic Novels, which is pretty much exactly what the name says. It’s run by Kristen, an elementary school librarian and the blogger behind Bookworming in the 21st Century, and Kate, of The Neverending Shelf. So far there is a nice assortment of news and reviews of manga and other types of graphic novels. (Via The Shady Glade.)
