Links: Reviews, interviews, and comics in the classroom

October 1, 2012 by Brigid Alverson   Leave a Comment

Ben Hatke chats with Jules of Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast about his new book, Legends of Zita the Spacegirl, what he’s reading, and what his kids are up to.

Hope Larson talks to Alex Zalben about adapting the classic A Wrinkle in Time into graphic novel form.

At Comic Book Resources, Alex Dueben talks to Tom Devlin, creative director at Drawn and Quarterly, about two children’s comics his company is publishing, the Moomin books and Pippi Longstocking, and Kiel Phegley talks to Marvel associate editor Tom Brennan about Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, and Ultimate Spider-Man, which took over from their kid-friendly Marvel Adventures series.

And at Graphic Novel Reporter, Diana Thung talks about August Moon, Ben Hatke talks about Legends of Zita the Spacegirl (again!), and Jess Smart Smiley discusses Upside Down.

Not only should comics be allowed in the classroom, Marc Alan Fishman argues, they belong there, and he has a list of suggestions for different age groups, too.

Laura Lee Gulledge talks about the process of creating Page by Paige in the latest ComiXologist podcast.
