I mentioned the Jackie Ormes bio picture book yesterday, but such a treat to hear author Traci Todd and illustrator talk about their research and personal connection with “the first african american woman cartoonist” as they created “Holding Her Own” for @Scholastic #LibLearnX23 https://t.co/YLsG9Fl1gi

Another "I can't believe you haven't read this" manga is Berserk. I have at least read a volume or 2, but just haven't invested a lot of time into reading the whole series... the latest volume, #41 is the last one kentaro miura drew before he died. :-[ https://t.co/x1U6iv5Muf https://t.co/dCNUj9IcZZ

Oops! So last tweet omitted the Shannon Wright, the illustrator of “Holding Her Own” from @Scholastic - she’s also the illustrator of Twins, by Varian Johnson, also from @GraphixBooks https://t.co/kb1MhZmbVf

I love that the Yonago airport in Japan (Tottori Prefecture) is named after Kitaro, the creation of manga legend Shigeru Mizuki. Read Kitaro in English from @DandQ https://t.co/lexq00V9Wt https://t.co/u3fPQRdfbk

Amazing! The Devilman vol 1 exhibit is at the Tokiwa-so Museum now and Go Nagai went to visit. The photo-op cutout is pretty amazing too. Listen to our @mangasplaining Devilman episode for more! https://t.co/WwYsPJPNsW https://t.co/l35QzsCfEM
