Comment by Susan Stephenson, the Book Chook on March 9, 2010 at 6:47pm: Ryan, I think Myths and Legends deserves a mention too. Oh, and Creaza's Cartoonist and Professor Garfield Comic Labs. (and Extreme Labs)

Wonderful to involve kids in story creation. I wrote about these in a post yesterday, plus other online story editors.

Comment by Ryan Goble on January 25, 2010 at 3:01pm: OK, keep the software/blogs/publications coming and I will add them - Sterios & RWT were added above!

Thank you both!

This isn't comics creation, but it's an amazing resource onto which Jay Piscopo just turned me:
Golden Age Comics = http://goldenagecomics.co.uk/
An IMMENSE archive of comics from the 1940s and 1950s… You will need to install Jomic to see most of the posted scans. (Jomic was kinda buggy for me to install, but I got it half-working and it's well worth the trouble! These are wild views of comics from the 40s + 50s -- (Basically a universe of English-language comics BEFORE the censorship hit the fan...)

File it where you will, & enjoy!

Comment by Peter Gutierrez on January 19, 2010 at 7:28am: No, Ryan -- it's not live yet. Otherwise, yes, I always try to provide.

Comment by Ryan Goble on January 18, 2010 at 8:29pm: PG - do you have a link to the piece? Links Links :)

Comment by Peter Gutierrez on January 18, 2010 at 8:16pm: Re Refresh, Refresh, I really like it, too. It was one of two titles, along with Katman, that I recently selected to illustrate some points on literacy for a piece Josh Elder and I developed for AdLit.Org
