Comic Outreach Program
The continuation of the 'verse for Firefly, Buffy, and Angel fans
currently resides primarily in the realm of comic books. So, while we
wait for their resurgence ! on television or film, let's seize an
opportunity to reach out to a new audience and join the International
Comic Arts Association's Comic Outreach ProgramT.
Spreading the 'Verse
The Whedonverse Multimedia Project was established in May 2004 after
the television series Angel left the air marking the last Joss Whedon
creation to grace our small screens, that is, at least for now. Our
mission is simple: bring the world's of Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
Angel and Firefly/Serenity to those who may not have yet discovered
them. We accomplish this by donating the DVDs to public libraries,
military units, and charitible organizations.
If you'd like to help, please send us a donation so we can provide
DVDs to the libraries on our waiting list or contact your local
library directly and arrange a donation to them. If you do donate
books or DVDs directly to a public library, please enter it in our
online ! tally so we can keep track of the organizations that have
benefitted from your generosity.
While donating DVDs has been the primary focus of our project, this
month we're launching the Youthful 'Verse campaign, which seeks to
provide young adult materials such as comic books to youth
organizations. ICCA's Comic Outreach Program provides us with a means
to achieve this objective.
About the ICCA's Comic Outreach Program
A major portion of the Comics Outreach ProgramT is directed at young
readers and their parents. Through this program the organization
stresses the importance of reading, and the value of the comic book
in making reading fun and exciting for children while also helping to
spark their imaginations and enhance their creativity. Through this
program, the ICAA is able to distribute comic books and related
products to a number of outlets where people of all ages can
appreciate, learn and ! enjoy them. These include; schools, children's
hospitals and pediatric wards; after-school programs; boys and girls
clubs; and other youth organizations. Additionally, the ICAA
distributes comic materials at live events such as festivals, fairs,
community celebrations, school functions, concerts, sporting events
and will use the holiday gift-giving season for enhanced promotions
through the ICAA Seasons Readings Program.
Another major focus of this program's efforts are toward getting more
comics material into the nation's library systems. The organization
is actively working toward getting some of the most valuable comic
works and collections into school and public libraries nationwide.
These include graphic novels, trade paperbacks, anthology works,
comic art history books, comic art technique books, archive editions,
and comics on microfilm added to their collections. With these
efforts the ICAA hopes to! help encourage many library systems to
continue to purchase comic related works for their libraries in the
future by introducing them to some of the more valuable material
currently available.
