ICv2 reports that the American Library Association Annual Conference concluded recently in New Orleans with the news that comics may not just be for kids anymore, but there are certainly going to be more comics for kids:
“This includes not only kid product from the usual suspects, but also a number of new graphic novel series launches directed primarily at the educational and library markets… With this kind of continued interest from the librarians and educators that are teaching kids to read, a new generation of children is being taught the lexicon of comics, and to appreciate the form. Although the phenomenon is new, it has the potential to further expand the growing audience for the comic art form.”
