Recommended titles for 8-year old girl?

[Jeffro.]

Archie - Not my cup of tea personally

 

 

I buy comics for an 8 year old girl and her favorites are Lulu, Disney, Bone and Akiko

 

I've never been an Archie fan, but they are great kids comics.

 

Bone is good stuff. Can't go wrong with that, as well as pretty much any kids type titles put out by Dell/Gold Key/Whitman and Charlton. But you already know that.

...Bone...

Bone is good stuff. ...

 

Tintin -- my son loved them at that age, and I don't think they're gender-specific.

Always in print in multiple editions, very inexpensive if you find them used.

old underdogs (gold key i think), dirt cheap at conventions and with the movie hype and all

bone, akiko, leave it to chance, alison dare

I second many of the recommendations already here.

 

Can't go wrong with Patrick The Wolf Boy either...

"Leave It to Chance" by Image and "Scary Godmother" by Sirius are two titles that have fun stories with young girls as lead characters.

My GF's 11 year old girl loved Herobear and the Kid and Bone.

I'm kinda surprised at some of the suggested titles... even Archie seems a bit 'grown up' for an 8-year old? Not to mention fairly boring for that age?

 

Let the kid stay a kid for a couple more years; wean her on Little Lulu and Barks duck books...she'll be seeking out the other stuff in due course...

 

I've got a soon-to-be 14-year old, so this is to some extent the voice of experience talking... those truly wonderful years of innocent exploration and discovery will end soon enough without any assistance from Mary Jane and Veronica Lodge...

Oh I completely agree...but I guess what I'm saying is, "don't let the 8-year old out on the streets yet" She'll find the door on her own soon enough...

And that would be wrong because....

Gold Key books are best imo. Scamp, Uncle Scrooge, Mickey Mouse etc. They are great reads and kids can identify the characters.

Archie digest and Scrooge, great comics for any age.
