:01 First Second produces one of the highest quality book series that you’ll find for middle school readers on science. Science Comics tackles any science concept topic, natural wonder, astrological body, animal or plant species and creates a graphic novel around it that captures the imagination and desire to learn that upper elementary readers and up innately have. Now, :01 First Second has taken that same approach, but shifted the focus to history in a new series appropriately called History Comics. One of the first books in this series is The Roanoke Colony, America’s First Mystery by Chris Schweizer. The Roanoke Colony is a great example of graphic novel storytelling; perfectly blending illustration and text in a way that makes middle grade students laugh, smirk or otherwise enjoy themselves as they’re learning.

All age comic books for July 1
It’s new comic book day and the all age comic books this week are up to their pre-holiday routine. By that I mean that there are some, but not at the number that there usually are. Publishers are back up to their release schedule, it’s simply that the Wednesday before a holiday is light. Having said that, this week has two great graphic novels in the vein of Science Comics from :01 First Second. Check out History Comics, The Great Chicago Fire or The Roanoke Colony, they’re from :01 First Second, so I bet that the quality and great storytelling behind Science Comics is front and center there also.
In all age comic books, check out Marvel Action Classics Avengers starring Iron Man #1. This series from IDW Publishing is awesome and great for kids in elementary school all the way through middle school.
