But for some reason, boys seem to dominate this realm of space ships and many limbed creatures with weird weapons to such a degree that a girl does get noticed when she steps into this universe. We also have the take-charge Emily from the excellent Amulet series by Kazo Kibuishi, which is a nice mix of fantasy and science fiction. Of course, we have the amazing Mirka, created by Barry Deutsch and her adventures in Hereville: How Mirka Got Her Sword, which is a great fantasy graphic novel. Zita is a girl! A Space Girl!! A science fiction heroine in a kid's graphic novel is unique, as far as I can tell. A HUGE thank you to Ben Hatke for creating Zita the Space Girl! I am pretty new to graphic novels and I certainly don't know all of the great books out there for kids, especially online graphic novels, but this one feels pretty unique - and familiar at the same time - if that is possible. ![]()
