comics in the classroom

This is a fantastic list of tools and resources that shows how comics could be used by both teachers and students in the classroom.  I think not only creating comics on a variety of topics would interest students but that emerging readers and/or unengaged students would find these tools fun, interesting, and helpful. It would take time for a teacher to create a library of comics but just like anything they create they would build a library over the years.
