Links: Scary Godmother and lots of previews

October 27, 2010 by Brigid Alverson   Leave a Comment

Looking for a good kids’ webcomic? Rocket Robinson and the Pharaoh’s Fortune looks like a fun, adventurous comic and it’s aimed at readers aged 8 to 12. (Found via Comics Worth Reading.)

The collected edition of Scary Godmother is out this week, just in time for Halloween, and Tim O’Shea interviews Jill Thompson about her work and her inspirations.

Kevin Keller, the first openly gay character in Archie comics, will be getting his own miniseries.

John Hogan talks to Barry Deutsch about Hereville at Graphic Novel Reporter. Hereville is one of the most talked-about kids’ graphic novels of the year, and it’s well worth checking out. Also at Graphic Novel Reporter, teachers Maureen Bakis and Leigh Brodsky reflect on their experiences at New York Comic Con.
