The Great Comic Book Heroes


Not only do they fight crime, they're good for your kids. In the Telegraph, there's a story about how comic books are good for children, about as good as any other type of literature the tot may read.

From the story...

"Any book can be good and any book can be bad, to some extent. It's up to the reader's personality and intellect. As a whole, comics are just another medium, another genre.

"If reading is to lead to any meaningful knowledge or comprehension, readers must approach a text with an understanding of the relevant social, linguistic and cultural conventions."
