This week the new all age comic books are laden with some great choices for readers as young as 6 years old. To be clear, this is a laden swallow, whose airspeed velocity is certainly comprised, especially if it’s an African Swallow as they don’t migrate. Over in the podcast we’ll chat about a cool coloring book from Disney for older audiences, Science Comics: Weather from :01 First Second, Wonder Twins and much more. For now, here are three great releases that will tickle the reading fancy of those 6 and up.
Clyde, by Jim Benton
You know Jim Benton’s work. Dear Dumb Diary, Dog Butts and Love, Franny K. Stein, Victor Shmud and more he’s an artist and author whose style you’ll recognize. Catwad came out last week. Clyde is out this week and is flat out funny for in second grade and up. It’s an original graphic novel about a grizzly bear who leaves his comfortable cave for the city, where he meets a butterfly from the wrong side of the tracks.
The Mutts Summer Diaries, by Patrick McDonnell
It’s Mutts, but with each comic strip set in the summer, take my money. We love Mutts, it’s a classic comic strip that can be funny one day, even funnier the next, remind you that cats (and dogs!) are awesome and make us laugh or possibly even adopt one. The Mutts Summer Diaries is a collection previously released strips that will appeal to those 6 and up.
Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, #43
Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is the equivalent to all age comic books of Deadpool. She’s irreverent, funny, faces danger and deals with bad guys in her own particular, squirrel way. There is some reading in Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, so it might be too much for seven year olds. However, those reading eight year olds or older that want something fun, hip and impossibly cool need to read this series. Each issue of this monthly series is trippy and lots of fun.
