Links: Pippi moves in

June 25, 2012 by Katherine Dacey   Leave a Comment

In November, Drawn & Quarterly will be releasing Pippi Moves In, a collection of Pippi Longstocking comics written by Astrid Lindgren and illustrated by Ingrid Vang Nyman. The comics originally appeared in Swedish magazine Humpty Dumpty in the late 1950s, ten years after Lindgren and Nyman collaborated on the original books. Readers curious to see what Pippi looks like in comic-strip form can read a short preview at the D&Q site.

Digital Manga Publishing, Inc. has returned to Kickstarter to fund a full-color edition of Osamu Tezuka’s Unico. “We think it’s unfortunate that so few of Tezuka’s manga for kids are in print in English,” DMP editor Ben Applegate notes, “so we set out to publish ‘Tezuka manga to read with your kids.'” The campaign runs through July 21st.
