Quick Links: Kaboom, Hereville, and Jughead

February 24, 2011 by Brigid Alverson   Leave a Comment

Boom! Studios continues its rollout of teasers for its new Kaboom! line, which is the successor to Boom! Kids, with news of Snarked, a new comic by Roger Langridge (the writer and artist of the Muppet Show comics) and Space Warped, a Star Wars parody.

Dan Parent, the Archie Comics writer and artist who created Kevin Keller, talks to Comic Book Resources about his plans for a Kevin Keller miniseries later this spring.

Gina Gagliano of First Second responds to Martin Amis’s recent comment belittling children’s books.

One of our favorite books, Hereville: How Mirka Got Her Sword, has been nominated for a Nebula award, the Andre Norton Award for Young Adult Science Fiction and Fantasy category. This seems to be the first time a graphic novel has been nominated for this particular award, although graphic novels have been nominated for other Nebulas.
