Love it – This one-of-a-kind comic’s story spotlights the range of New York City’s public employment services by using Spidey’s alter-ego Peter Parker, the world’s most prolific jobseeker, as an example of how to use the city’s all-important Workforce1 system and boasts the creative team of writer Warren Simons and artist Todd Nauck with a cover by Phil Jimenez.

It reminds me of the Joe Camel cartoon character used in ads for cigarettes. There was controversy that the cartoon character was used to market to kids.
Our agency had the same idea and produced a wonderful comic book for children called Squeaks Discovers Type! Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2poFHDbcTEw. The comic book is geared toward educating children on the history of printing.
Squeaks Discovers Type! is available at GPO’s newly designed and renovated bookstore in Washington, DC or available online at: http://bookstore.gpo.gov/collections/squeaks-discovers-type.jsp
Katherine, that looks great! What fun.
