Comic books have been capturing the vivid imagination of children and adults alike since the 1930s. In recent years though, video games have coincided with comic books to create a massive and powerful following all across the globe. More and more children are being introduced to video games and comics through their siblings, classmates and movies

.

Comic books lead to opening doors and vistas into the minds of children and young adults. Comic books introduce a wide range of literary elements (like plot, narrative, character, etc.) and artistic fundamentals (like color, theme, illustration, etc.). If your kids aren’t reading books, perhaps comic books will inspire an interest in reading that will help them open a door to comprehension skills, which may otherwise be difficult to grasp.

Many kids find comic books interesting for the literature and the pictures. Graphic novels have also increased in their popularity recently and made a widespread reemergence in the public sphere. Comic books provide a source of entertainment and education for kids. Comic books often deal with moral and everyday themes of life that will help children grow both independently and in society.

The important thing is comic books have a certain quality video games lack. Video games and comic books are both active and participatory in the sense that they involve the one on one interaction with a user. But comic books expand the use of the mind and thinking and work the brain that video games do not. Video games are a temporal forma of entertainment that do not make a lasting impression on the mind. Comic books, like other types of books, provide the user with a source of critical thinking, deductive reasoning and incorporates the reader’s own ideas into the digestion of the material. Further, children are learning and in the process makes comic books education whereas video games are not. There are many reasons why comic books can be useful, education and fun for kids.

Think about introducing your kids to classic comic books and modern graphic novels and watch them enjoy a great reading experience. They’ll have a fun time reading, and those comic books may end up being worth than just their value as a collectible. Comic books open up a world of literature for children, disguised in superhero costumes while conveying all the wonders of imaginary lands. First come comic books, then come novels. Better grades, better understanding of the world awaits.

Local Comic Book Shop Looking for Help Wining Bleeding Cool Poll

According to the folks over at Bleeding Cool.com  they are going to create an award for the best comic book shop.
"San Diego has the Eisner Awards. Baltimore Comic Con has the Harveys. SPX has the Ignatz. Well, C2E2 has its own comic book awards, the Bleeding Cool Fan Awards. To be voted on by your good selves. The choices have been made by a selection of judges who wish to remain secret, but there’s space to add your own choice as well. Write-in candidates showing a swell of support will be added to the nominee form.
Yes, there will be multiple voting. Yes, there will be campaigns. Yes there will be people trying to fix the vote. What we say is.. bring it on.
The awards will be presented at C2E2 on Saturday evening from 5:30pm-6:30pm in Room 475B. Nominees are encouraged to attend to receive their awards, or to nominate any attendee to accept it on their behalf.
Firstly we have the award for people for, basically, longevity. For entertaining us, for making an impact on the comics scene, for continuing to work away – and are still doing it! Appearing at shows, signing and sketching rather than putting their feet up! We salute you!"

It would seem that for some reason we were not selected for the Ballot. So we are asking you our internet fans and passer byes for your help! Due to some sort of "Clerical Error" we were left off the ballot for best comic shop over at Bleeding Cool! Head on over now to help them fix it:

1. Click on this link
2. Scroll down to "Comic Shop Least Likely to be mistaken for The Android's Dungeon"
3. Select other and type "1up Collectibles, West Reading PA"
4. Click "Vote"!
