Comic Book News of Note

Some noteworthy YA and children's lit happenings in the realm of comic books can be found on Comic Book Resources. Of particular interest to me (and hopefully you!) are:

1.  News that Penguin Group will be launching a new wave of graphic novels aimed at young readers.
2. Sean Kleefeld examines children's comics and graphic novels and their existence outside of the direct market.
3. The second Mumbai Film and Comics Convention is this weekend which promises to be bigger and better than the first one.

 On that note, just a friendly reminder that today marks the beginning of San Diego Comic Fest (held throughout the weekend). The SDSU Library and a number of students will certainly be there as they are involved in a documentary project about the history of the original Comic-Con.
