Greetings,
I have plans to publish some tutorials about creating
Motion Comics, using the free and open-source
platform LiveCode http://livecode.com/ (http://livecode.com/)
These Motion Comics tutorials will be used as a gentle
and enjoyable introduction to the basics concepts of
programming.
Originally, I intended to create these tutorials only for kids
and young teens, but many teachers and friends have told
me that young adults and older grown ups would be
interested too, if I included more mature comics, among
the tutorials.
For this reason, I request your advice to choose the
characters and titles that could be atractive to each
age group:
kids from 6-11
teens from 12- 16
young adults from 17-29
grown ups: 30 and older
Each tutorial would require that me (and some volunteers)
clean up and retouch all the panels of the history
chosen for the tutorial so, if possible, recommend titles that
have more than one book available, or if there is only one book,
the history and characters are really outstanding.
Many thanks in advance

I will start with this character: Leon the Lyin' Lion
from Charlton Comics.
This character was featured in Zoo Comics,
Funny Animals and Atomic Mouse.
Any suggestion about characters and stories
that could be atractive to each age group:
teens from 12- 16
young adults from 17-29
grown ups: 30 and older
Each tutorial would require that me (and some volunteers)
clean up and retouch all the panels of the history
chosen for the tutorial so, if possible, recommend titles that
have more than one book available, or if there is only one book,
the history and characters are really outstanding.
Many thanks in advance.

For the youngsters you can not beat Walt Kelly. Either Animal Comics or Peter Wheat. The Grown ups here are very fond of Peter Wheat also. Depending on where you want to go with it, the pre-code horror books are very popular. Books like Horrific and others appeal to the teens and adults. Teen boys and adults are very fond of the Phantom Lady archives. As far as "teen comics" go I am partial to Vicky. Lots of action/motion in the stories.

Great! Many thanks for your advice. 8)
I will check the books of the characters that
you recommended, looking for stories that could
be adapted to the electronic media of motion comics.
Have a nice week!
