How DC’s Fall slate of middle grade fiction encourages children's literacy:
Share to twitterCover art to DC's DEAR JUSTICE LEAGUE graphic novel, written by Michael Northrop and illustrated by Gustavo Duarte, which also found that kid's properties were four out of five of the most liscensed properties that year. In other words, it's a good time for franchises to explore children's fiction. With their new slate of middle grade fiction, DC — the superhero company behind Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman — is doing just that.
"I was a shy little kid with a lisp who got picked on a lot in school. Fortunately, I found the comic book spinner rack in my local convenience mart," says Meg Cabot, bestselling author of the Princess Diaries books and DC's upcoming."Strong heroines like Wonder Woman, Oh Mighty Isis, and Princess Leia became my jam, and channeling their confidence helped keep me from panicking when I was sent to the school speech pathologist every day to correct my lisp.
Why is DC entering the middle grade space? The rising interest in super-stories has drawn the attention of educators hoping to instill a love of reading in children at a young age. "To tap into this younger audience," she adds,"DC is partnering with bestselling authors of middle grade books and artists with unique styles to tell original, standalone stories that reimagine DC’s popular characters and make them accessible to readers who have never picked up a comic or are unfamiliar with superheroes."
