The Archie Comics line of comic books is one of the most successful, longest running brands in the history of the comic industry. Archie Comics started out in 1939 as MLJ Comics, and Archie’s first appearance was in Pep Comics #22 on December 22, 1941.
DC Comics virtually created the comic book, publishing the first comic of all original material. Then, in the spring of 1938, the first super hero story appeared in ACTION COMICS #1, introducing SUPERMAN. Other soon-to-be icons would follow, including BATMAN, WONDER WOMAN, GREEN LANTERN, THE FLASH, and many others.
Pantheon published a graphic-based “for beginners” series in the 1970s and 1980s, and decided to bring the series back in 2003. One of the first graphic novels Pantheon published was the highly acclaimed MAUS: A SURVIVOR’S TALE by Art Spiegelman in 1986. Other well-known titles include PERSEPOLIS by Marjane Satrapi and ICE HAVEN by Daniel Clowes.

Established in New York in 2008, Kodansha USA Publishing is a subsidiary of Kodansha, Japan’s largest publisher, which was originally established in 1909 by Seiji Noma, and is still a family-run business. The first series under the imprint were the ever-popular AKIRA and GHOST IN THE SHELL, and also includes the highly anticipated re-launch of SAILOR MOON, which is where the American manga craze all began.

Kids
The Flying Beaver Brothers and the Evil Penguin Plan
Squish 1: Super Amoeba
Maxwell Eaton
From the creators of Babymouse, here is a brand new graphic novel series! Just like Babymouse, Squish is smart and funny and will appeal to both kids and grownups. Unlike Babymouse, Squish is green and filled with superheroes, comics within comics, and gross-out science. Plus, a science spread is included in the back—full of real science activities.
Meet Ace and Bub, the flying beaver brothers! Fun, funny, and chock-full of kid appeal, each book has an environmental angle. This new series is sure to appeal to boy readers with fast-paced adventure, awesome extreme sports, and laughs a-plenty. 978-0-375-86447-6 | $6.99 | TR | Alfred A. Knopf BFYR January 10, 2012

Babymouse 1: Queen Of The World!
Stone Rabbit 1: BC Mambo
Jennifer L. Holm
Stone Rabbit is an exciting graphic novel series that chronicles the zany adventures of an ill-tempered, quick-witted rabbit as he squares off against pirates, dinosaurs, and almost anything else you can think of. Stone Rabbit proves that being small and furry doesn’t mean you can’t be a hero, too!
Erik Craddock
With glowing reviews, built in parent and teacher appeal, an eye-catching package, and stories and art with attitude, Babymouse is perfectly poised to be a favorite graphic novel series for the pre-Manga set. 978-0-375-83229-1 | $6.99 | TR | Random House BFYR
978-0-375-84360-0 | $6.99 | TR | Random House BFYR
Lunch Lady and the Cyborg Substitute Jarrett J. Krosoczka With a hilarious premise—the adventures of a school lunch lady who fights crime when she’s not serving sloppy joes—and a strong look, Lunch Lady is an addictive young graphic novel series. Filled with great characters, fun stories, and funky gadgets, Lunch Lady continues to be a huge kid-pleaser. 978-0-375-84683-0 | $6.99 | TR | Alfred A. Knopf BFYR
