Comics

Posted in Myles Grade 9
In today's libraries they have what are known as "Graphic Novels". They are classic literature put in comic book form for young people to read, especially young boys who struggle with the attention it takes to read a book with few pictures.

Myles has been moping around here for the last few days. He's been banned from the computer for a few days. He found that making a certain phone call was exciting, but you can't talk on the phone all day. So I've been trying to get him to find something to do. Stupidly, I suggested he read a book. I might as well have been talking to the wall.

I did however suggest he go through Stuart's boxes of comic books and see if there was something to read. I don't know what's in those boxes, I don't know if the material is questionable or not - probably is.

Anyhow,  I googled Christian Comic Pages and came up with this:

Standard Spire Comics
