    How to Draw with Your Kid

    Eva Volin, October 26, 2008 | Uncategorized

    There comes a time in every children’s librarian’s life when she needs to take a break from comics, programs, and kids, and do something completely different.  Do something different?  That’s crazy talk.  Instead, I and two elite members from my Team Of Experts spent our Saturday afternoon attending the “How to Draw with Your Kid/How […]

    All Ages Comics and Manga List For 10/22/08

    Lori Henderson, October 25, 2008 | Uncategorized

    It’s mostly the regulars this week, with Archie Comics, Bongo, DC and Marvel.  Cinebook has a new series for kids with Cedric, the story of a boy and all the triumphs and tribulations of being and 8 year old.  I’ve added Gon, from DC’s CMX line, though I suggest using caution if you choose to […]

    Linkfest: Weekend treats

    Brigid Alverson, October 24, 2008 | Uncategorized

    If you think superhero comics are for kids, you’re either hopelessly out of date or very au courant. Over the past 40 years, superhero comics have grown progressively darker and more violent and the audience has grown older (I hesitate to say "more adult"). However, recently Marvel and DC have both developed kid-friendly lines, and […]

    Scott Robins, October 20, 2008 | Uncategorized

    Flashback to Comic-Con 2008 – one of the better panel discussions I attended at this year’s show was the Kids Draw! panel that featured Nick Abadzis (Laika), Debbie Huey (Bumper Boy), Johane Matte (Flight Explorer), Scot Morse (Magic Pickle), Andy Runton (Owly), Kean Soo (Jellaby) and hosted by Dave Roman from Nickelodeon Magazine.

    Linkfest: Hey, Supergirl!

    Brigid Alverson, October 20, 2008 | Uncategorized

    I saw this in the October Previews and was very excited: DC is putting out an all-ages Supergirl comic, Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the Eighth Grade. Newsarama has a four-page preview to whet our appetites. The art is simple and stylized, and it looks like there will be a strong dose of humor. The standard […]

    All Ages Comics and Manga List For 10/15/08

    Lori Henderson, October 19, 2008 | Uncategorized

    When I first started making this week’s list, I didn’t think there would be much to highlight.  Boy was I wrong!  There are a lot of good books coming out, including a DIY Diary of a Wimpy Kid.  IDW has more great Doctor Who titles, and a trade of Dreamland Chronicles.  Not too much on […]

    Crunching the Numbers: Round Robin Discussion

    Robin Brenner, October 18, 2008 | Uncategorized

    My conclusions about all of these statistics?  They reflect a lot about what libraries are buying, and therefore shed light on what is popular in libraries and what libraries may need to be hearing more about.  I asked a variety of librarians and publishers here on Good Comics for Kids to chime in with their […]

    Crunching the Numbers: Library Circulation Statistics

    Robin Brenner, October 18, 2008 | Uncategorized

    Given the variety of sales charts folks look at to see how graphic novels are faring, from ICv2’s rundowns of the top 50 graphic novels every month to Bookscan’s sales figures, I’ve always thought it would be interesting to see how sales statistics compare to what we use in libraries: circulation statistics.  Essentially, I ran […]

    Linkfest: Wheeling and Dealing

    Brigid Alverson, October 15, 2008 | Uncategorized

     Raina Telgemeier, who illustrated the Baby-Sitters Club graphic novels, has good news and bad news for us about  Smile: A Dental Drama. The good news is that Scholastic/Graphix will be publishing it as a full-color graphic novel in 2010. The bad news is that she won’t be updating the online version any more. If a […]
