Robert Kirkman’s Super Dinosaur Getting Trade Paperback

‘Super Dinosaur,’ the all-ages (but mainly aimed at kids) comic book written by Robert Kirkman and illustrated by Jason Howard, is getting the trade paperback treatment.The series, starring a boy genius and a genetically modified Tyrannosaurus Rex, was a huge success earlier this year—both from a sales and critical standpoint.’Super Dinosaur, Vol. 1 TP’ will hit shelves November 23rd.Cover price is $9.99, and the TP will cover the first 5 issues of the series.”Since becoming a parent, I wanted to create a comic book that parents can read with their kids or that kids can pick up and read on their own,” said Kirkman. “We also wanted to create a comic that’s appropriate for younger kids but doesn’t talk down to them, so it will interest older readers as well!”As a parent of two young kids, there have been two things inhibiting the introduction of comics into my children’s lives.One, is a true lack of quality comic books for younger readers. Two, it’s difficult for them to have to wait for the next issue to come out. When I get them locked in to a comic, they want to keep going, not wait a month to see what happens next.With ‘Super Dinosaur,’ Kirkman and Howard tackled the former problem.With the issue of the trade paperback, Image Comics has taken care of the latter problem.
