If you’re looking for a sign to dig into the cool all age comic cooks, this is it.

There are some weeks where a much higher than average number of go-to comic books hit the shelf it’s a virtual no brainer to visit your local comic book store. In the podcast we’ll chat about Dumbo, Scooby, Teen Titans, Moon Girl and much more. To see the entire list of comic books that are OK for ages 6 and up just look down in the post. For now let’s look at three great comic books that will be great for elementary ages and up.  

Barbie: Fashion Superstar

The landscape for all age comic books has shifted dramatically over the past couple of years. It’s gone from very few girl-centric comics to very few all age super heroes to where now there is something for every 6 and up. Barbie even has her line up of graphic novels from Papercutz. Barbie: Fashion Superstar features her as a fashion entrepreneur when things go awry at a show. It’s business savvy, plus the fashion sense that people have come to expect from Barbie.

Looney Tunes #248

Go into any elementary school library and there’s bound to be at least one issue of Looney Tunes. This is one of our go-to all age comic books. If the kids or I are looking for a solid, entertaining comic book this is it. As there’s no ongoing story line each issue stands on its own. They’re new stories, every other month that have that classic Warner Bros vibe. Bonus: the Looney Tunes comic book is only $2.99.

Jim Henson Beneath the Dark Crystal #8 of #12

Jim Henson Beneath the Dark Crystal is a mini-series from Boom Studios! The content isn’t gratuitous, but it’s realistically drawn and has too much reading for elementary school kids to really enjoy. This is one for those middle-Earth kids who want a fable, but not the Jack and the Beanstalk variety. This story has its roots from The Dark Crystal and will be of interest to those who liked it or are in middle school and want some fresh goblins and monsters.
