The Walking Dead.

The Dark Knight Rises.

The Avengers.

These influential pieces of pop culture entertainment all came from the pages of comic books before becoming titans of culture that are discussed around water coolers worldwide. They are on your soda cans and slurpees, your Doritos and your Cheetoes, but you've never ever read a single page of any of it. 

Intro to Reading Comic Books is ideal for those who are interested in reading comic books, but also those interested in seeing the process of making comics showing how the words and art come together in comic books, and for those who want to get a casual look at what's out there & what's good to read.

The world of comic books is full of wonderful stories that go way beyond just superheroes and zombies - as fun as they are - so come and take your first steps into this larger world.
