Tomorrow The Guardian Newspaper Hands G2 Section Over To The Phoenix Weekly Comic (UPDATE)
We're big fans of the Phoenix Weekly comic at Bleeding Cool Towers. And tomorrow, just as I am planning to head out of the country, my favoured newspaper of choice, The Guardian, is being taken over by it.
While tomorrow's front pages are taken over by death and destruction, the title of the newspaper itself is being attacked by a dinosaur.
Looks like something to pick up at the airport….
UPDATE: The article has gone live with a gallery of pages.
Like no other medium, a comic can teach the art of suspense. Neill Cameron, author of Tamsin and the Deep, is artist in residence at the Story Museum in Oxford. The format, he says, "allows children to live in that imaginative space for a whole week, giving the story time to stew in kids' heads". Meanwhile, the books bloggerDaniel Lipscombe likes the fact that "some of the art verges on animated manga, some is reminiscent of Adventure Time. I could give this to my seven-year-old daughter and she would see the history of animation."
