WHY I DO THIS: because children should enjoy comics.

This article posted by Mike Bullock (link below) is one reason I decided to create a comic series designed for children. Comics are an incredible art form, & a lot time they don't get their due. The medium can be seen as 'geeky' or as one person told me in high school, "why are you reading that? Aren't comics for kids?" 


And because of that stigma, there has been such a push to make comics a serious adult medium. I grew up on comics, & I would like to continue to see children read comics. Its an awesome medium for children, but there needs to be a focus on good creators creating good comics for children. The big players in the industry don't want to devote time creating comics for children. But they should, because you need to always give attention towards a young audience no matter the medium, comics, movies, etc. That helps keep your medium alive, by adding new blood.


And there are new creators creating great  stories for kids, & I want to be a part of that. Who knows, maybe Grade 5 can be mentioned in an article like this. Until then, check out the article link below & behave like a kid!
