10 Comic Books That Are Definitely for the Purest of Comic Book Lovers

The yeti escaped from a government lab and is trying to escape but needs the help of Abigail, a young school girl. Government agents continue to pursue Claude. It all happens in a whimsical, kid-friendly way that's not super terrifying but we think it's super ridiculous in all the right ways. 

It's kiddy humor with a dose of adult wit thrown in. Fun for the WHOLE family. Thank you, France, for your tongue-in-cheek-y ways!

It's comic-book form of familiar stories, so it might be the perfect way to teach your kids about the comic style while keeping them on familiar ground. But there are some lesser known stories in here, too, so no one will get bored!

It's hard to explain what makes this comic collection so special, but there's just something...different about it. The illustrations are stunning and extremely unique. The story lines are also just a little bit more...elevated. They're still very kid-friendly, but they're just a little less predictable, and somehow...more beautiful. Also, we will always support stories with an awesome, well-developed female protagonist!

This is a no-brainer. These are like mini-biographies of important figures from history—they're fun, they're educational, and they will get your comic nerds started early. Win-win-win!

To begin with, the name and cover of this book are shamelessly adorable. But since rumor has it that's not actually how you're supposed to judge books (ba-dum-chhh), we'll also say this: it is the perfect intro to comics for someone who maybe isn't the world's best reader yet. The story is told through wonderful illustrations, even using word bubbles with photos to help move the narrative forward. 

Actually one of the more stylistically traditional comic books in this list, the Scooby-Doo comic book collection is awesome because it introduces a lot of comic book icons we know and love as adults, but in an extremely kid-friendly way. Get them introduced now...grow the fandom slowly...and then let them deal with the more adult story lines a few years down the line. 

This one might be the most fun to read along with your kids, because there are bound to be some characters/story lines you recognize. Creators Art Baltazar and Franco Aureliani actually take influence from adult DC comic stories and create kid-friendly versions, so you can read along and help your children out with some inside jokes that may fly over their heads. 

The great part about Toon Books is that they're not THAT much different from picture books. A lot of the same structure exists, so if that's what your child has been brought up on, this won't be a jarring transition. Toon Books the publisher is also the only publisher of comic books that gives that reading level clarification for their comics, so that will also help to make sure your child is reading something they can handle. 

Because it's always important to learn about the classics. These hail from the 1940s and later, and they're still hilarious and resonate with modern young audiences.
