It’s new comic book day, don’t act surprised because this happens every Wednesday. That’s the day the all of the new comic books are released to your local stores. In that shipment are dozens of all age comic books that are great for readers as young as five-years old! Granted that age varies from week to week; but this is one of those weeks that has some great ones for those younger readers, plus a nice selection of older action comics for kids in upper elementary. Over in the podcast we’ll chat about two great Disney themed releases, Mech Cadet Yu and more. If you’re looking for three go-to all age comic books that will be OK for kids 5 and up , read on.
True Believers
Marvel Comics True Believers are reprints of classic issues in the Marvel Comic cannon. This week it’s all about Fantastic Four with three issues from the 1960’s and one issue from the 1970’s. These comics are OK for readers aged 7 and up, but realistically younger kids might not be attracted to the artwork. Ages 9 and up will enjoy these the most and anyone who purchases them will love the price of only $1.
Ducktales #10
We mentioned in the podcast before that Ducktales is back baby! They’ve got all new tales in comic books on IDW Publishing. This is an important note because many of the Disney stories that IDW puts out were previously published in another language. Ignore the fact that if it’s the first time that you’re reading it then it’s new to you anyway. These are all new stories featuring Donald’s nephews as they look for treasure, explore things, frustrate Donald and otherwise have a great time-which your Disney fan who is aged 8 and up will too.
The content in Ducktales is great for an all age comic book. The reason I’m suggesting it’s for ages 8 and up is due to the reading that required to enjoy it.
Casper and Hot Stuff #1
Similar to how IDW and some of their Disney titles publish previous stories that were in another language. American Mythology Productions has brought many of the Harvey Comics characters back so that new audiences can discover them. As a kid I still remember my neighbor who only collected Harvey Comics. We took a trip to the beach one summer and the two of us just read and traded all manner of Wendy, friends and more. My favorite title that I remember was Casper and Hot Stuff. I liked the earnestness of Casper, but I also liked the kid friendly maliciousness of Hot Stuff.
They’re back in an all story, Casper and Hot Stuff #1. This is one of those all age comic books that kids 5 and up can jump into and easily enjoy. Even their slightly surly older sibling who is 9 will enjoy this comic book.
