"I'm partway through Kevin Fraser Mutch's The Moon Prince, a 400+ pages all(ish)-ages graphic novel. It started with his desire, when his kids were young, to introduce them to the kind of adventures stories he'd enjoyed as a kid. He realized that (1)…"

They're good fun. I think I'm scratching the itch I had as a kid when I couldn't afford those big lumps of colourful plastic that looked so cool in the ads.
Actually I'm downloading them as I just know I'm going to visit that site some day and see that they've been taken down...
If you happen to find out the creative credits for the different episodes and their publishing dates I'd be grateful for the info. I couldn't find them anywhere.
Here's a birthday present for you.
