Links: Fraggles, superheroes, and teenagers

April 25, 2011 by Brigid Alverson   Leave a Comment

At the DC Universe blog, Art Baltazar and Franco talk about how they make the magic that is Tiny Titans.

The New York Times Magazine profiles Shaun Tan, the creator of The Arrival and The Lost Thing.

On a much sillier note, the folks at the Jim Henson fansite Tough Pigs have been talking to the creators behind the Fraggle Rock comics; in the latest articles, they talk to Katie Strickland and Lindsay Cibos, the creators of the “Shopping with Silly Creatures” story, and Paul Morrissey and Nichol Ashworth, the team behind “Red’s Chomp-a-Thon.”

Sean Kleefeld goes comics shopping with a teenager and sees comics (including manga) through a 14-year-old’s eyes.

Matt Loux, creator of Salt Water Taffy, shows off a bit of art from his next project.

Gina Gagliano talks about First Second graphic novels that are being used in classrooms.

An autism awareness site posts a list of graphic novel recommendations for children with autism—and it’s actually a pretty good list for any group of kids. (Via Graphic Novel Reporter.)
