utahsnoqualmie-182On a recent visit with my family I became the proud owner of my nephew Colin’s first comic book.  Written, drawn, and then sold to a willing Aunt Christy at 4 x the asking price.  He was only going to charge me $0.25.  I gave him $1.00.  Such a bargain.  The comic book itself is quite genius, and so it should be.  Colin’s idea of a bedtime story is to read a chapter from various comic book encyclopedias such as The Marvel Encyclopdia.  And at age 3 I caught him eating his morning cereal while “reading” Wizard Magazine.  His first comic book is about Wario.  Perfect, since he spent most of my visit schooling me in Wario World, Inc.

Please note that anytime a character is on the right side of the paper, the words in the word bubble are backwards.  I asked him about this.  He said that it was necessary since the words leave the character’s mouth in that direction.

Wow…that kid has talent! Being that young and being able to get that early of a grasp on composition and word bubbles…wow! Hold on to that comic, it might be worth a lot of money someday!
