As independent readers, kids love to discover new stories and worlds, to laugh and to worry for the favourite heroes. So discovering comic books is sort of a pivotal point in their journey across the universe of books.

My kid is in love with comics, she reads them, creates new stories based in her favourite characters or authors, draws and illustrates as much comics as she can.

The classical series are a bit long, yes. All the great comic books authors develop new lines to their series , so each 1-2 years a new book is published. So the majority of the comic books series has around 15-20 titles. But as they are read and reread over and over again, I would say that are a great addition to a child library, especially if they have younger siblings, to pass along the books.

My daughter helped me put together a selection of the comic books she red that she thinks are apropiate as a first encounter with this kind of stories.

She loves authors like Cece Bell, Raina Telgemeier, Dav Pilkey, Jim Davis, Tom Gauld, Charles Martin Schulz, Rene Goscinny, Stephen Hilenburg, Ileana and Maria Surducan.

Enjoy!
