Good for very young comic readers since the characters "speak" in pictures.

The Wonder Twins one I got from The Falcon (my friend Shawn) 2 Christmases ago, and the one w/ Wendy and Marvin I got at a local comic book store last year. You might also try Amazon, though I haven't checked lately. Good luck w/ finding it and tell your daughter Happy Birthday!
*Edit: Yes, they're on Amazon. Despite the fact that Wendy and Marvin are on the cover, get the one w/ Truth Justice and Peace on the cover. That's the one w/ the Wonder Twins only.Last edited by HardyGirl; Mar 17, '10, 1:10 AM."Do you believe, you believe in magic?

DC or Marvel ought to try out a cheap reprint comic with material from the 50's and 60's.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

Thought I would throw in my daughter's comment to me tonight. I asked her to choose a story for me to read at bedtime and her response was: "Tiny Titans Rock!" So we wound up reading Pet Club Paradise Island. She also really enjoys the Toy Story comics that have been coming out recently.It's all good!Comment

They do!
Dozens and dozens of Showcase volumes available at bookstores and comic shops.
576 pages of material for $12 bucks at Amazon!!!
What is that? about 24 issues? Fifty cents an issue? Talk about rolling back the prices to the 1980's eh?
Marvel publishes theirs under the "Essentials" banner with the same price point.

Supergirl was good, but I'd say not great. The story is fun enough and my kids enjoyed it, but they seemed to sacrifice good individual stories for each issue in favor of an overall arch for the complete 6 issues.
Now for adults, that workds great but after 3 issues my kids couldn't really remember the continuity from issue 1 so much was lost on them. They are a little younger though then the age range the comic is probably targeted it.
You do get Superman, Lex, Streaky, Comet, and a whole lot of Super-family fun. I think it is the first time an overhead projector was used in an original story for a villan.Mortui Vivos Docent

Not that black and white junk, I mean color comics reprinting the classics. And make them cheap to get into the hands of kids. A buck or so for a reprint of some 60's Brave and the Bold would appeal to them, and tie into the current TV show.They do!

Look at the Black and White as an opportunity! Hand one of those big showcase volumes to them along with this...
I know when I was a kid someone gave me a black and white Star Wars Weekly comic from the UK and I went at it with crayons 'cause the comics I was used to had COLOR! Still liked the stories though (which were actually closer to "Star Wars" than my North American comics).
How is $12 not cheap by today's standards? You do realize kids are spending fifty bucks these days for video games right? And at the risk of opening up that old can of worms, it's about on par with the cost of a manga volume of Naruto (also in black and white).Comment

>You do realize kids are spending fifty bucks these days for video games right?
THESE days? They were $50 back when I was a kid! When comics were fifty cents!
A lot of folks don't like the B&W thing. It's a shame, 'cos I found a lot of the art from the old Marvel and DC books looks BETTER in B&W. (Given how horrid the colour repro tech of the day was.)

Thirty bucks tops for a new high end Colecovision game. I had to scrape and save for months to get one as a kid and would drool over the Consumers Distributing catalogue in the meanwhile. Atari and Intellivision games were a bit cheaper.
God of War for PS3. $56.99
Amazon.com: God of War III: Playstation 3: Video Games
Final Fantasy XIII $59.99
Amazon.com: Final Fantasy XIII: Playstation 3: Video Games
But yeah, upwards by the tens and even more in our funny coloured Canadian bucks. How much is a kid's allowance these days and how long does it take for them to save up eighty bucks for a video game?
Although that is a good point as well. For those complaining about any price increases for Comics, Canadians have been paying ridiculously overinflated prices on their weekly fixes and trade collections for the better part of a decade and it's only in recent years that the prices have actually DROPPED for us due to the exchange rate.Comment
