Had an awesome day today!! It was free comic book day in our town today ( may 6th ), and it was at three (3) different libraries and a comic book store in town. At the comic book store, there was a costume competition and here are some awesome pictures I got while waiting!
Donnie would absolutely blow a fuse if someone ruined their books with how sacred he was to that mint condition comic, and I’m sure Mikey thinks cooking is an art. Cross either of them and it’s hell to pay!
I read a lot of book series that had been handed down to me by my siblings, but you could really tell whose they were before based on their condition. One sibling left foodstains and dog ears, another left spine breaks and ripped paperbacks, and the final would threaten my life if I so much as dented a page. Such is life with shared things
I guess you could say those books were well loved, for better or for worse lol
Happy Trans Day of Visibility! This year I wanted to celebrate by showing you what Lunar Boy, our upcoming middle grade graphic novel, means to us as queer Indonesian representation: the thought process behind crafting a sci-fi Indonesian future that embraces queer history.
Pre-order Lunar Boy or add it on goodreads! Support QPOC creators and stories!
It's September 25th, 📔 Comic Book Day. Whether you grew up glued to the pages of comic books, or you’ve never experienced the wonders that lie between their pages, Comic Book Day encourages you to get out and embrace this incredible story telling medium.
Comic books have existed in America since "The Adventures of Mr. Obadiah Oldbuck" arrived from Switzerland in 1837. The first standard-sized comic book, "Funnies on Parade," appeared in the early 20th century. Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster's creation of the superhero "Superman" turned comic books into a major industry in 1938 - one that's grown exponentially to encompass radio serials, TV and book series, movies, theme parks, board games, video games, apparel, merchandise, et cetera, et cetera.
Parents have historically assigned the role of villain to comic books when it comes to what they want their children to read, but that’s beginning to change. Enlightened parents have come to realize that comic books actually promote literacy in children, as they involve the reader in a complex negotiation of words and images, making logical sense of the narrative, and weaving the action together based on cues in the illustrations. Makes comic books look like superheroes, not villains, eh? ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet
