Imagine you’re a teenager, and you have some special powers. Maybe even superpowers. And one day, at a sleepover, your best friend in the whole world tells you you’re not alone. So begins the adventure for a couple of teenagers, a single mom and yarn shop owner, and a whole bunch of hand-knitted fun.
Handknit Heroes is the first graphic novel for knitters. Each issue features a great storyline with knitting superheroes, terrific artwork, and a beautiful (and easy) knitting pattern.
I’m vastly amused, and I neither knit (yet!) nor read graphic novels. I know that
I’m biased, since I write and publish Handknit Heroes. However, reviews so far have been very positive– both for the concept and for the execution.
I link to reviews, shout-outs, and mentions on the updates page of the ComicKnits website: http://www.comicknits.com/update/ if you want to go take a look– I link all mentions as I find them, not just the positive ones. Also, I posted a videoblog yesterday giving an overview of the comic book and what’s so cool about it (that’s linked from the update/ page as well).
It has a good storyline (my completely, totally biased opinion), great artwork, and a really beautiful, easy-to-knit pattern by Erssie Major. We publish 4 times a year.
