A New Comic Book? Why Not Use Your lOAf

The new comic will include a mixture of stories and puzzles produced by professional artists – including many Anglia Ruskin graduates – as well as contributions from young readers.
Becky, 30, who will launch the comic in the city today, said: "The magazine is a response to our feeling that there are very few good quality comics for 9-12-year-olds currently available in the UK. Also the range of stories, and the visuals used to tell them, is at present quite limited.
"Some excellent magazines started appearing a few years ago, such as Anorak and Okido, but nothing for the age range that we were interested in publishing for."
