Comics For Kids (and Adults, too)
Monday, March 10th, 2008 by Kazu
Just a reminder that the first volume of Flight Explorer comes out this month! Please help spread the word. After hearing from many booksellers and librarians that there weren’t very many high quality all-ages comics available for their youngest readers, we decided that a volume of Flight containing only the stories with the youngest readers in mind would be a great solution to the problem. As for other original stories written and drawn for young readers, be sure to check out Kean Soo’s Jellaby (now on shelves) and Amulet.


Flight Blog Technical Issues
Sunday, March 9th, 2008 by KazuYou may have noticed that the Flight blog posts have been disappearing. This was due to the blog backend software (WordPress) not being updated in quite a while. Shadi has now made the update, so this should no longer be a problem.
