Tidbits – Student Comics Anthology |
At the invitation of Northbridge International School, Our Books participated in the ‘Yearly Cultural Exchange‘ ‘CX 2010′, including students from International School of Phnom Penh, and also International School of Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), Vientiane International School (Laos), International School Eastern Seaboard (Thailand), Saigon South International School (Vietnam), Hanoi International School (Vietnam), and United Nations International School (Vietnam).
After two days of sharing and teaching about Cambodian and international comics we came up with this anthology created by students in grades 6 through 9. Included are student stories and collaborative ‘jam strips’. You can read or download the comic by clicking on the cover or via these links to varied formats:

Fulbright Comics Session at Royal University of Fine Art |
Our Books staff joined Fulbright Scholar Jan Arabas to talk about comics history and do a simple ‘quick comic’ session. Managing Editor John Weeks and Artist Moeu Diyadarvuth were joined by independent publisher (and former Our Books Graphic Designer) Try Samphos.
The conversation is in English and (mostly) Khmer. At the end the students displayed and discussed their works. (Thanks to Rick for video!)

She’s also looking forward to taking some of Our Books back for Lowell’s upcoming Water Festival! (More pictures and news to come.)
