#SDCC: LION FORGE AND KNOW YOURSELF ANNOUNCE DEBIAN PERL: AN ORIGINAL SERIES

7/13/2018

#SDCC: LION FORGE AND KNOW YOURSELF ANNOUNCE DEBIAN PERL: AN ORIGINAL SERIES
Co-Developed with Know Yourself and Creative Director Samuel Sattin, the Series Will Find a Home Under the Caracal Banner in 2019
ST. LOUIS—Days before the opening of the exhibit hall at Comic-Con International 2018, Lion Forge reveals a new series for middle-grade readers developed in conjunction with computer scientist and entrepreneur Tim Howe’s Know Yourself, the Oakland, California–based public benefit corporation dedicated to self-literacy in early education.

“Know Yourself was founded on the belief that character and story are essential to helping kids and teens learn about themselves and the world around them. We could not be prouder to have Debian Perl and her friends meet the world and start helping readers on this journey. And we could not be more excited to be working with Lion Forge, the world’s most innovative comic book publisher, whose philosophy of cultural diversity and comic books for all we wholeheartedly share.”—Tim Howes, CEO

Megalopolis used to be the city hub for all the makers, doers, and dreamers. It was a better time according to Debian Perl, a technomancer known for her out-of-date computer programming skills. Now the city streets are filled with “Egg-heads,” those in thrall to the ease and simplicity of new technology as opposed to Debian’s way of doing things. Digits is one of those Egg-heads. She is a young social media guru and knows her way around all the newest, latest technology.

Debian and Digits cross paths when they both stumble across a one-hundred-year-old lost robot named Ray-Bot. They soon learn that Ray-Bot’s CPU was suspiciously overclocked, leaving him unable to perform basic functions and commands. To find out where the robot came from, Debian must teach Digits everything she knows about computer coding and programming. Along their journey to bring Ray-Bot home, they begin piecing together the mysterious puzzle about his malfunction and uncover some sinister secrets.

Debian Perl: Digital Detective is a five-book series in which middle-grade readers will join Debian and Digits on mystery adventures all while building practical knowledge of coding, algorithms, algebra, and logical problem solving.

“I love working with Lion Forge, and co-developing the Debian Perlproject with them has been so exciting. The people working on this book (writers Mel Hilario and Lauren Davis, artist Katie Longua, our tech-advising CEO, Tim Howes) are putting so much thought and study into every page. With Andrea Colvin and myself overseeing, we hope to introduce something truly innovative for younger audiences. Yes, we want kids to learn how to code, but we also want to give them a new world to explore, characters to identify with, mysteries to solve, and present social messages to contemplate. Additionally, we have a lot of fun ideas and hope to expand beyond the scope of the books themselves.”—Samuel Sattin, Creative Director

“Know Yourself does amazing work creating content that is really fun and also really educational. They are the perfect partner for Lion Forge in crafting exciting graphic novels that also teach concepts of coding and computer science to kids.”—Andrea Colvin, Editor-in-Chief, Lion Forge Comics

“I’ve drawn my whole life because of the comics I grew up with. They were an incredibly important part of my childhood and shaped the career I have today. It’s an honor to work together with Lion Forge and get the chance to have that impact on kids growing up now.”—Katie Longua, artist, Debian Perl

“When I was growing up, I wanted magic to be real because so many of the stories that I loved were about magic. Technology grows more and more magical every year, and I want younger readers to realize that they have access to that magical technology—that they can harness it, control it, and create new things with it. It’s been exciting to work with Lion Forge because they’ve shared our vision of making the magical more accessible.”—Lauren Davis, co-writer, Debian Perl 

“When I was younger, I escaped into books; today, I see them as not just an escape but as a means of transport—both as joy and journey.  Stories make things significant, especially when a reader can find something of themselves or their own lives in the characters. In a way, fiction is the clearest path to truth.  Kids can see that.  Writing for them keeps me from losing the kid in myself.”—Mel Hilario, co-writer, Debian Perl

Debian Perl is created in partnership with Know Yourself, a company dedicated to helping kids learn more about themselves and the world around them. This incredibly entertaining new series combines logic, puzzles, and learning with page-turning, action-packed, mystery-adventure stories. The first volume in the series is due to arrive in summer 2019.

About Know Yourself:
Know Yourself is an Oakland, California-based educational fun company dedicated to teaching kids about themselves and the world around them. Through toys, games, comics, and workbooks, Know Yourself takes kids on a journey of self-discovery that will last a lifetime. Our tools are science, story, character, and fun, and our ambition is to bring our message of self-discovery to every child, regardless of background or circumstance.

SAN DIEGO COMIC CON 2018: HOW ANYONE CAN IDENTIFY A VALUABLE COMIC BOOK

7/12/2018

SAN DIEGO COMIC CON 2018: HOW ANYONE CAN IDENTIFY A VALUABLE COMIC BOOK
Chicago, IL - July 12, 2018 - Key Collector Comics is a free mobile app focused exclusively on helping collectors of any experience level identify which comic books are key issues of value. Examples of a key issue include a character’s first appearance, an origin story, iconic cover art, a classic story or any milestone moment in comics that define a character or the universe in which they exist.
Over one million comic books have been published since the very first, standard comic book Famous Funnies No. 1 hit the shelves in 1934. Ninety-nine percent of all published comics resell for no more than cover price. The remaining one-percent could be worth anywhere from $10 or up to $2 million, which was the case this past June at an auction for Superman’s first appearance in Action Comics No. 1.

“There are plenty of valuable comics worth hundreds of dollars sitting in dollar bins, slipping through people’s fingers every day,” said owner of Key Collector Comics, Nick Coglianese. "But its like trying to find a needle in a haystack and Key Collector Comics is the world’s first resource that shows you all the needles with no hay.”

Chances are the retailers are too savvy at the San Diego Comic Con to let the holy grail of all comics to get past them but there are plenty of hidden gems just waiting to be found.
Now featured on Key Collector Comics are this year’s SDCC exclusives and which booths they can be purchased.

Launched in Oct 2017 at New York Comic Con, Key Collector Comics is the world’s first mobile resource to focus exclusively on milestone moments in comic book history, from the Golden Age to today. Key Collector Comics has been downloaded in 132 countries and has an average rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars in nearly one-thousand reviews on Google Play, Apple and Facebook.
