Moose Kids, the free humour e-comic for kids (of all ages) is back!

Moose Kids Comic Issue 2 - Promo

It’s live! Moose Kid Comics Issue 2, filled with yet more amazing all-ages comics, has just been launched on an unsuspecting internet by editor and publisher Jamie Smart – and it’s just as packed with great comic strips from a huge range of creators as last year’s first issue.

Moose Kid Comics launched their first issue in the summer of 2014, winning a lot of attention for its vibrant mix of funny characters and ridiculous stories. The title is the brainchild of top comic creator Jamie Smart, best known for his work on mainstream comics such as The Beano and The Phoenix, who has long decried the parlous state of British comics. Together with the team he quickly gathered, he aims to restore some vitality to the genre made famous by weekly British comics like The Beano, Whizzer and Chips and Oink!, whilst combining it all with the modern sensibilities of Adventure Time.

Each creator is given complete freedom to write and draw whatever characters they want, and that creative freedom bursts through from every page. From crime-fighting tigers to child barbarians, farting unicorns and vegetable best friends, Moose Kid Comics Issue 2 has it all!

“There was a definite demand for more Moose Kid Comics,” Jamie says. “From parents, children, comic artists, even publishers, everyone wanted issue one to succeed and continue. The goodwill towards it really showed that people want more children’s comics in the world.”

“Our main advantage was that we didn’t have any budgets, any distribution, any demographics. Every artist contributes their work, and the whole thing is released online for free. As a result, we don’t have to worry about who we’re appealing to or how it’s going to sell, we just have to make the most fun comics we can, and that’s how you get the best results.”

Moose Kid Comics is called all-ages because it is just that – kids love it as much as experienced comic readers do. We made the best comic we could, and now we’ve come back to do it again.”

A new comic featuring comics by over 40 top comic artists? Young Tank Girl? And it’s free? Why exactly are you still here? Oh! You want a web link…
