Zines for children or by children?

[Harley R. Pageot]

I'm running a couple zine workshops for kids (age 6-12) this July.  I would love to have some zines for kids or, even better, by kids that I could have on hand to show off.

 

I only have one by kids right now, a small minicomic about robots and spies fighting each other.  Though I could always use Alexa Kitchen's book Drawing Comics Is Easy too.

Dusty Wing is actually the zine I have. I highly recommend it!

Check out Subgroup Cursive and Dusty Wing put together by Tod Sahonchik, they are zines made by and for kids. Her son also makes his own zine.

I have a simple zine-making DIY zine for young kids, you can read about it on my page.

I've got it.

I actually had it on display with a bunch of other zines at the last zine-making workshop I ran and an elderly woman checked it out and wanted a copy. I sent her your e-mail but I don't know if she ever contacted you.

a few years ago (when i was still in the "6-12 age group") i made a 1/8 size, very short comic about a little girl who does a zine and ends up making friends all over the world through it. i can send you a copy or a few if you like. my drawing skills weren't that great back then and i wanted to do a new version with neater pictures and writing. but if you want zines that really look like something made by a kid then i'll send you the original.
and i will talk to my mom, she is a librarian and i think she did zine workshops for kids before, maybe she has zines/ideas to share.
