Hello I love being a writer and one of the most exciting things about telling stories is that you can do it in so many different ways When I was young I enjoyed the Asterix and Tintin books and also weekly comics which I read from cover to cover I’ve always wanted to have a go at writing a story in comic strip form and so I’m RIDICULOUSLY excited about ELECTRIGIRL which is illustrated by my amazing buddy Cathy Brett We’ve had such fun developing Holly’s story in words AND pictures You can see just by flicking through the book how we switch from one to the other If you’ve thought about reading comics but weren’t sure where to start try the awesome Phoenix Comic which comes out weekly and is STUFFED full of cool and crazy comic stories Or if superheroes are your thing you can watch videos and play games online at www marvelkids com and even design your own comic Happy reading
