Inspired by the overwhelming enthusiasm of S1-S3 for our Comic-Con, the regular nagging of some library assistants AND the amazing Excelsior Award I have decided to start our very own comic group – The Excelsior Club!
The aim of the club will be two-fold; initially to shadow the Junior and Senior Excelsior Award and then to gain a broader knowledge of comics and graphic novels whilst having some fun.
if you want to sign up for the club – it will cost you a grand sum of £1. For this you will get your very own SHAZAMPACK!; including a free comic, a set of voting sheets for the Excelsior Award, a pen, a supermunchable, 5 raffle tickets ( to win one of the short listed titles) and a delightful polly pocket to keep all your stuff in. You will also receive a party invitation to COMICARAMA; a party to celebrate all things comic- which will take place in June.
All this will kick off in January when we have all the short listed titles in. Your job will be to read, review , enjoy, chat and share with the group.
You may also wish to come up with your own superhero alter-ego.
I get first dibs on Batgirl for obvious reasons!
We will meet every second Friday in the library at break, starting in January– don’t worry if you cant make a meeting you can still pick up a read any time the library is open and hand in your voting sheets when you can.
So, if you are interested, why not pop in to the library and find out more!
