New at Casablanca Comics

This Saturday, May 3rd, visit Casablanca Comics for Free Comic Book Day 2008!!! We have stacks of really cool comics to give away to eager readers. The event will be held at both Casablanca Comics locations from 10-6 on Saturday. There is something for everyone....

How many us honed our reading skills on TinTin, Asterix or Archie?

Sure, sure now we read Tolstoy (on a regular basis), but we cut our teeth on
the graphic stuff.

Comic book / graphic novelist LEGENDS, Art Spiegelman and Francoise Mouly
have created a line of picture book comics for emerging readers that honors
that tradition and puts some snap into beginning readers for our distracted
kiddos.

These books are for 4+, but the event & drawing workshop will be sure to
mesmerize up to age 11.
