- The market is booming: Comics/graphic novel sales top $500 million in the U.S. and $5 billion in Japan. Comics also are easily translated into multiple languages.
- Boys are reading: Teen girls read more than boys—Hunger Games, Twilight primarily reach teenage girls—but the primary market for comics/graphic novels is boys ages 9 to 14. Given that half the world’s population is illiterate or semi-literate, comics and graphic novels make learning visual. (For 80 percent of people, the principal mode of learning is visual.)
- Men are reading: Ayris was surprised to learn that a second significant percentage of Kingstone readers are males age 30-45.
- Top authors have new readers: Comics throw open a door for top Christian communicators to gain new audiences. Best-seller and leader in next-life literature Randy Alcorn just published his first graphic novel—Eternity—with Kingstone. ( Kingstone soon will announce new works from other top Christian names.)
Learning and education expert Dr. Mary Manz Simon says comics and graphic novels go places a traditional Bible or Sunday school lesson might not.
