Once the bane of modern civilization, comic books have come a long way in their public standing. This simple art form was almost banned during its heyday and now it’s a powerful tool for educating young and old alike. We’d like to believe we kicked off the ‘aquarium comic book’ movement with our 2017 release of theBlue Tang Factscomic but truth be told comic books are a powerful medium and we’re glad to tell you about two new releases.
Bula Buddies is the creation of Walt Smith and he’s been teasing this publication for a number of years. Last fall at MACNA a few copies of Bula Buddies were shown off and previewed and we have to tell you the illustrations are top notch.
拟人化的海洋生物多样,创造性和相关性,保存礁石的故事被编织成一个令人着迷的讲故事的叙事。Bula Buddies目前正在Kickstarter上众筹,以创造出第一卷的大型印刷品,希望成功的漫画将成为主食,最喜欢或礁石水族馆的父母。[KickStarter]
And another new coral comic book called Coral Heroes comes to us from SECORE, the consortium of institutions participating in sexual reproduction of corals. This publication is more of an educational & entertaining journey through the reefs, and the corals that live there. Secore’s Coral Heroes is completely free, ready to download and should make a great night time read for the young Reef Builders on your favorite digital devices. [珊瑚Heroes]
