In order to exercize our old grey matter, let's discuss what comic book is the best one to start the interest in comics in our kids, lovely valentine or friends.

Take care Frederick Werthan!!!

I'm already showing my daughter the Mouse Guard series. She is 4. I have very fond memories of reading Asterix when I was small too and I used to flick through my parents Giles annuals although I didn't understand much of that when I was 5.

My 4-year-old grand nephew likes having the Carl Barks duck stories read to him.

In Brazil, the main door-entry for kids are whether the Disney comics or Turma da Monica, which is a local comics staple and is like a Calvin & Hobbes mixed with Little Lulu.

Our son enjoyed the Usagi Yojimbo books. Our daughter liked the Archie comics.

I don't have kids so I can't address that...but I've found the awesomely detailed and skillful inkwork of Joe Sacco as well as the documentary nature of his work interests people like my 75 year old mum who have always assumed comics are all (a) about super heroes and (b) for kids. Though she's nuts about The Walking Dead TV show and was very interested when I brought the giant omnibus home!

My son didn't take an interest in comics until he was fourteen which was in 2011 when I started collecting and reading again and also introduced comics to him and my daughter. My daughter was reading Scooby Doo and now she is thirteen and reads Dr. Who comics which is her favorite TV series.

When I was a kid it was all about Bamse (the world's strongest and also kindest bear) - who is massive in Sweden. There is a strong emphasis on morality and "the right thing to do" - being a kind person, standing up to bullies, forgiving people, etc. It's intended for the 3/4 and up, I think, but they have special magazines for the even younger - I'm getting my 1-year-old nephew some for his upcoming birthday.

Also Donald Duck, who is big in all of the Nordic countries and has his own weekly magazine. (Mickey does too, but it isn't as popular.)

In my experience, you don't really have to try very hard to get kids interested in comics - they tend to like and read them without trying.

As a kid I loved the Moomins by Tove Janssen. But any well told story would work as kids are not so prejudiced yet.

For adults I would second Joe Sacco to dispel the notion of comics being silly kid stuff.
