About this title

About the Author:

Born in Chicago, Art Baltazar found his way early to comic book art and has been cartooning ever since he can recall. With a frenetic, hip hop style, Baltazar began self-publishing in 1994 with such titles as The Cray-Baby Adventures, Gyro-Man, Captain Camel & the Space Chicken, Jimmy Dydo, Lunar Lizard, Meteor Mite and the famous Patrick the Wolf Boy. Art has also drawn coloring books for Warner Bros. Art recently finished work on SUPERMAN FAMILY ADVENTURES, and is now co-writing the new series THE GREEN TEAM: TEEN TRILLIONAIRES. Art lives outside of Chicago with his wife, Rose, and children Sonny, Gordon, and Audrey.

From Booklist:

This is the first in Stone Arch’s line of Tiny Titans books, reprinting DC’s popular and Eisner-winning children’s title. Characters like Robin, Starfire, Kid Flash, Speedy, Raven, Cyborg, and Beast Boy—who will be familiar to many young readers from cartoon shows like Teen Titans and Young Justice—gallivant through several fast-paced vignettes focusing on group dynamics and school life. Putting superheroes into real-life situations and environments familiar to the readership is likely to charm, and the humor is well calculated for the age level. The art balances classical cartooning that exaggerates various features, actions, and emotions, with a modern stylization and color palette that exemplifies the motion and energy. The only real downside here is that you get only a single issue’s worth of story, while the softcover collections currently published by DC contain six full issues. Back matter includes character introductions, a glossary, and some educator-targeted visual questions and prompts. Grades K-2. --Jesse Karp
