Space Ghost? Thundarr?) and ways of getting those comics into the hands of kids early. Especially kids like those in my neighborhood whose parents are newly emigrated Latins or eastern Europeans and don't speak or read English that well. Reading to their kids would be great for all concerned. <BR/><BR/>Do the kids of your neighborhood a favor next Halloween and hand out comics (or YA paperbacks) you get from the quarter bin at your LCS or a garage sale. Tiny Titans, Super Friends, Batman Adventures, JLU, Spidey Adventures, are all good choices that I can think of off the top of my head. I am certain there are more.Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137025404327426886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10931739.post-46088342810277432932008-05-04T18:15:00.000-07:002008-05-04T18:15:00.000-07:00I took my two sons to Rocketship and let them loos...I took my two sons to Rocketship and let them loose on the selection of free comics.<BR/><BR/>They liked what they saw so much that I ended up buying full runs of Tiny Titans and DC Super Friends.<BR/><BR/>All of this is god, considering the youngest is just learning how to read.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12349870423231872139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10931739.post-61863603615542635122008-05-04T11:10:00.000-07:002008-05-04T11:10:00.000-07:00Hope you enjoy it.
