So Katherine is caught in the web of comic book reading — not obsessively, but at age 7 she enjoys the ones I buy her.  She gets Teen Titans<\/em> and Justice League Unlimited<\/em> and Looney Tunes<\/em>, and enjoys them all (along with anything else she can read).  She enjoyed reading through some old paperback-sized reprints of early Lee\/Ditko Spider-Man comics I have.<\/p>\n

She also got turned on to some strip comics this year — Margie offered her some of our Calvin & Hobbes<\/em> collections and she thought they were the greatest things since sliced bread.<\/p>\n

I’m thinking of how I can get her into some of the trade collections I have.  Some of the ones I’m thinking of:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Leave it to Chance<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Bone<\/em><\/li>\n
  3. Herobear and the Kid<\/em><\/li>\n
  4. Maybe some of the Marvel Essential<\/em>s?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Any other thoughts? Anything else ongoing?<\/p>\n

    <\/a><\/div>\n

    On a similar note, she’s been very much into animated <\/em>super-hero adventures — which her Daddy has been more than happy to indulge.  She has a pretty complete collection of the recent WB Superman<\/em>, Batman<\/em>, and Justice League<\/em> series.  Just as much fun to her, though, was the recent release of the 1966 Filmation Superman<\/em> cartoons<\/a> — which is what Yours Truly cut his teeth on.  Good stuff.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
