Here's something interesting, what's made them so successful and why isn't it talked about the same way we talk about DC and Marvel?
>>151297059Most of their stuff is made explicitly for kids, with only a few exceptions like Bone.
>>151297259I associate book fairs with them, I don't know if they still do them.
Book fairsIt's fucking book fairsFor childrenAnd even then it's not a guaranteed surefire success since there have been Scholastic graphic novels that have been dudsMarvel and DC are shared settings with decades long historiesPeople love Dogman but it's not this expansive world for people to sink their teeth inThere's also release frequencies, Scholastic doesn't do monthly solicitations and series' can go on for years before getting one new paperback continuing the story
I am quite fond of their works
>>151297059Weirdly, Scholastic is how I got a lot of toys as a kid. My parents absolutely despised toy shopping but Scholastic was this weird loophole where it was considered "educational". So every flyer felt like fucking Christmas. I would mark off the toys I wanted and they would buy it.
Are other notable all-ages publishers allowed here?First Second Books, HarperAlley, Anatheum Books, Roaring Brook, etc
>>151297059>and why isn't it talked about the same way we talk about DC and Marvel?They're not a primary direct market publisher Getting your books at LCS' and getting them at book fairs/book stores are completely different experiencesThe only bizarre thing about it isn't the overlap between the two but rather the lack of an overlap between cartoon fans and people into graphic novels for that same market (with a few exceptions)Not even necessarily all-ages fare, even stuff for slightly older audiences
>>151297335they still doI visited a school last month and there was a book fair going on
>>151297530Sure no problem, I know there are others but Scholastic was the big one for me.
>>151297523Oh that takes me back, that's how I got my Captain Underpants books.
>>151297656RadFirst Second Books is pretty underrated as far as non Direct Market publishers go/co/ mostly knows them from Anya's Ghost but they've also published American Born Chinese and Zita the Spacegirl
Tangentially related since it's not Scholastic but this is Narwhal and JellyA series that hardly anyone on /co/ is aware about if at allI shit you not, it's probably one of the most influential comics in its marketUp there with Dogman
>>151297523Aw yeah, Animorphs!
>>151297059>*ruins comics and cartoons forever*>"Nothing personal, goy!"
>>151297059They are written by adults who understand the child audience have actual variety and are pushed as a reward abd way to learn by schools.
>>151297939>>*ruins comics and cartoons forever*How?By doing what Marvel and DC should have been doing?By accomplishing getting comics accessible to children past LCS' post-crash after attempts failed before them?
>>151297949>have actual varietyLook I like Scholastic but the flavors mostly come from>Adaptation of a book series>Something for the Smile audience>Something for the Dogman audience>LicenseshitAnd it's not just Scholastic, I see it prominently across kidlit in generalSo many, so damn many comedy duo books starring either animals or animate inanimate objects Sure you occasionally you find something Amulet or Bone (which started as an indie comic and ended ages ago) but it's mostly what I just said right now if you bothered browsing through their catalog
Fun fact, one of the Marvel books they published was a DOAWK/Jedi Academy styled book seriesIf I can find quality scans/rips I'd storytime it
>>151297335I always forgot to bring money to those damn fairs, so I always just windows shopped whenever our class was pulled to look at them
I think one of my favourite things to happen on /co/ was the Captain Underpants storytime after the last book came outNo one really expected to turn into babby's first Evangelion
I know this is gonna sound weird but kids/all-ages comics have this isolated history that's connected all the way to indie self-publishing that's mostly ignored/untouched by the wider comics world of discourse.It's this rabbit hole that almost never ends and keeps spreading like that Flapjack chart.
>>151297059>what's made them so successfulKids getting to leave their class for an hour and buy comics and books. It's not really complicated. When you saw those silver shelves lined up the halls you know it was gonna be a kickass day of reading goosebumps.
>>151297910The new graphic novel series has been fucking lit, I just wish the update schedule wasn't so bad.
>>151298338I remember people hating the artstyle but others bringing up it works because it contrasts just how fucked up the books get and the shock value one got upon reading the original books would be lost had it been drawn like say, AvP
>>151297523I miss the Spy Five series, each of the books came with cool stuff like edible paper or binoculars. I always wondered how the series ended.
>>151297939>cartoonsHow?
Amelia Rules my pp
>>151297059Mostly book fairsI remember them being sold during my elementary school days. My teachers would bring us to the school library where kids could buy books. Not sure if they still do it today. It was a better time.
>>151297059Has anyone actually gooned to their books?
>>151301687AMELIA RULES GIRLS ARE MADE FOR HUGS ONLY
>>151301810People have made Rule 34 of the Babysitters Club with Raina's artstyles in mind
I like the Sunny series
>>151301810In my pre-gooning days I had a crush on Carly Beth in The Haunted Mask. Not the show, the book version. I wanted her to be my gf.
>>151302374Thoughts on her depiction in the Graphix adaptation?
I'm honestly sort of looking forward to this
>>151298338>The Baby-Sitters Club>Animorphs>Wings of Fire>Goosebumps>Bailey School Kids (seems to be over though)And other publishers are doing>Junie B Jones>Warriors>Sweet Valley Twins>Magic Tree HouseWhat other kidlit book series' are left?I know there are multiple YA series that already have had graphic novel adaptations
>>151297059>why isn't it talked about the same way we talk about DC and Marvel?Different audiencesDifferent marketsBarely any overlapIt's like why asking /v/ never seriously discussed pre-gacha mobileshit like Angry Birds
>>151297335This.Scholastic sets up book fairs directly in schools. At the end of the day it's still just a company trying to make money but they can pretend they're doing a good deed by being educational and getting kids to read so parents will just give their kids money to take to school and buy Scholastic books.Parents aren't as likely to give kids money to go buy the most recent Batman comic at the local comic store because that doesn't sound "educational".
I remember never having money for them and stealing as a kid. Probably small stuff thoThe stealing led me to getting caught with $200 later in life. Maybe at 11-12 years idk
>>151304660I wish the reading point system was available when I was older and not the book fair.All I had to do was read books, take a multichoice, and get points for pizza hut. That was great.
>>151303543It's always about making money... but if a company makes its fortune by getting kids to read books it's head and shoulders above most companies on the "ethical capitalism" ladder.
>>151297059they were a monopoly that went to every school in north america. I mean that alone made them all powerful, getting into scholastic was an honor and would make you a fuckload of sales. But also be able to release future works far more easily by working with them.THEY LISTENED TO LIBRARIANS SENDING OUT SURVEY ASKING WHAT KIDS WERE READING THAT WAS NEW. They themselves looked at every new release and spoke with artists asking them if they would like to be part of scholastic. They also spoke with you know kids at schools, getting stuff that they liked.IE figuring out what your customer wants and selling them that, while also finding out new things that are similar. Pushing new artists/authors they think will do well.
>>151304798And they've been doing this since, (looks at Wikipedia) since 1920?!
>>151304818I think the book fair mafia thing took off in the 90's? late 80's??
Where are the 2 other obsessive Spy Gear Adventures fans on the internet?
>>151304885tumb-ohwaitbahahahahahah oh man what happened to tumblr will never not be fucking funny man.>watch me tank this top 100 website , with just one trick>bans nsfw to please yahoo overlords>lost 95% of users within 90 days
>>151298419this just machine gunned me with nostalgia
>>151304818>>151304864Concerning graphic novels, their imprint Graphix didnt begin until 2005 when they published Bone that really got the ball rolling with Smile a few years later continuing the momentumYou can find MULTIPLE examples of attempts to reach out to kids that either failed completely or simply failed to last especially when bookstores went out of business in mass in the mid 2000'sScholastic bypassed that by selling at schools which is frankly absurd given how working with schools is a bureaucratic nightmare
>>151297059Scholastic books are hardly scanned/ripped
>>151302047sunnt moar liek silly amirite
>>151302047 New one came out? Neat
>>151307225This year actually but it and the one before it weren't storytimed during this year's storytime marathon
>>151297059Never knew Animorphs got a comic book until recently.
>>151297572>>151297059Scholastic also had all that Harry Potter money when those books were huge. Having access to all that money let's you do stuff to market other books, pay authors, do promotions in person like book fairs, but also in bookstores, etc. Plus, at least for many parents, the HP series getting kids interested in books gave at least some halo effect to the publisher and their other output.
>>151307225Actually this was the one that came out this year
>>151297593>I visited a school last monthThere are probably better ways to phrase that...
>>151302401She’s cute in it, but the Graphix adaptations are a bit too soft for my taste. My mental image of the Goosebumpverse was always informed by the Jacobus covers.
It will never not be funny to me that KA Applegate managed to peddle a brutal child soldier story meditating on the horrors of war, colored by a paranoid schizophrenic’s perspective on reptilians/the illuminati to eight year olds under the cover of being an animal themed take on Power Rangers, and got away with it all the way to the end.
>>151309549Very silly
>>151309549I've said it before and I'll say it again, literature gets away with it because soccer moms aren't gonna read a whole book but they can walk in on their kid watching tv or playing a game
>>151309070I don't think the anal nightmare person should talk.
>>151303223Bailey School Kids got a graphic novel?
>>151311727Up to the fourth book
>>151309549https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BDHaTxUUx0
>>151306071
>>151297059They're pretty cut and dry and don't need a lot of deep thinking to get their message across or to build their world lore.I honestly really appreciate scholastic novels because they are really good at telling a story whereas the big two, and maybe a lot of other studios/creators, are more focused on making a story if that makes sense.I'm a degenerate so here's a spicy catbox someone shared a while agohttps://files.catbox.moe/txedbw.png
>>151312578Hot
>>151312578Behold Biblically Accurate Dork Diaries
>>151304885It'll probably be a cult classic the second someone makes a video about novels based on toys or something
>>151314071Are you saying that as someone who’s actually read them? Because there are a lot of other reasons they should have become cult classics by now.
>>151297059any "comic" made by them these past ten years?
>>151314119I read it when someone storytimed a book in a DDD thread
>>151314121Yeah, plenty
>>151306071I worked part time at a library when I was a teenager and every time I shelved books around, these mice would always be checked out and I always caught a glimpse. That book was an awakening.
>>151314121https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/comics/scholasticYeah I don't get why the Bionicle books are there either, apparently guide books are fair game on LOCG because of shit like the OHOTMU but pics of actual toys is stretching it for me. Granted ANYONE can edit the site
>>151314146Oh, yeah, that was me. Thoughts?
>>151297059Book fairs promoted under the guise of "encouraging literacy" mean they're able to sell their products directly to kids by advertising it and displaying it in a place where their audience is legally required to be at the ages where they're most impressionable and easy to mold. It's not like they're selling stimulating or enlightening things either, it's all Goosebumps level slop. It's no different than if Hasbro was setting up Transformers displays and shoving Transformers catalogs at kids and having their teachers bring them to where the Transformers toys are sold so they can buy them directly in school.
>>151314271Better than I expected but I haven't gotten around to reading the rest of the series
>>151297059That's not interesting. Everybody knows Scholastic has much better PR and distribution than any comic company due to being seen as edutainment.
>>151302374Sounds based & kino
>>151298338For me, it was books over the Titanic
>>151303223Oh yeah, Whatever After also got adaptations
>>151315284Honestly what I find interesting is the stuff that was released and failed to succeed what Scholastic accomplishedThere were multiple attempts prior to Graphix to get kids interested in comics again from various publishers
>>151297059They aim their stuff at kids and they allow any teacher to pitch to them directly, plus they use the book fairs and the book orders to help fund schools.Scholastic runs on the Apple model of “get in with the schools to ensure a never ending client.” And it works well for them, which is why they’re the biggest graphic novel publisher
>>151298419Oh my god,you instantly made me remember the taste of the edible paper. I also loved the UV light invisible ink pens that came with these.
>>151304798But...but...degenerate sociopaths and creepy middle aged women ruling comics said thats bad.
>>151317090i need to breed him
>>151297335Those book fairs are one hell of a racket let me tell you.Whoever came up with the idea to sell directly to elementary school students in their schools was a marketing genius.
>>151304798They earned their niche, I don't want to say monopoly because other people sell books.
>>151318211One of the best examples I can think of consumer capitalism being used for good. They make books desirable products kids want, kids get into reading, Scholastic makes money, literacy improves, genuinely everybody wins. It's like the anti-tiktok/youtube.
>>151299733>Captain Underpants and Dogman>Ga'Hoole>The Magic School Bus>9 Story Media (Wild Kratts)>>151297967By pushing pozz to children for generations in the guise of "education" and "contemporary children's literature"
>>151318598>The Magic School BusIf you actually hate that show, I don't know what to tell you
>>151297059Diversity is their strength.
I think I've found the most hardest image relating to Scholastic.
>>151324857>most hardestgo back to school
>>151309549It's wild to me that Young Adult is more about the age of the protagonist rather than the actual content which is how Robert Cormier's stuff is considered YA while Discworld isn't.
>>151314231>front page features a book about 2 faggotsHoly shit! They've gone woke. Don't let your kids read Scholastic slop.
>>151297059Because we're not Gen Alpha. Wait 10-20 years and /co/ will be flooded with scholasticfags. Making scholastic vs capeshit threads.
>>151297343Jesus that's depressing. And now in 2025, it's even less viable
>>151297343name of this comic?
>>151327509GRRM killed fiction writing for everyone. If you don't already have an audience (read: did all your own advertising on twitter, day in day out like an adbot), you will never be published.
>>151327522Ginseng Roots by Craig Thompson
>>151327490There isn't a kid in america shop hasn't been tk or bought something from scholastic
>>151327490Plenty of us grew up on Book FairsA lot of 20 something Americans have read Captain Underpants, Smile, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Dear Dumb Diary, etc
>>151327538Bro. Women, degenerate clannish spinsters and lesbisns, dominate the western book market. And they do not like or care fir male authors or male aimed media.Im not even kidding.
>>151327561People gave a lot of flack to Stephanie Meyer but what she wrote is tame compared to most of the stuff women read
>>151327581Its just the typical "im not like them" types and lesbos angry that it makes predating on lonely wonen and girls is being msde tougher. But what I mean is all publishing is ran by a tight knit cabal of women.
I loved this badass retard.
>>151327561That's why comics are going to shit. Should have never allowed those mentally ill carpet munchers next to our bread & circus.
>>151327581It's no secret that alot of dykes are fujos.
>>151312578>good at telling a story whereas the big two, and maybe a lot of other studios/creators, are more focused on making a story?
>>151327540Shit I knew his style was familiarhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r0mg6H_YNg
>>151327561I hate culture war shit, but just looking at the data and who runs the publishing industry, liberal woman are definitely running shit and affecting what gets published, same with comics
>>151297059What I want to know is why Marvel and DC struggle so much at selling their comics to the average person
>>151327712John K was so cool
>>151297059Children's books are a staple like milk, they'll sell and take up the charts because dumb parents buy them based on the cover, but the content literally doesn't matter, so no one discusses it
>>151297059>>151301869Once you've read one Scholastic book, you've kind of read them all. My local library has a kid's comics section, and most of them don't look appealing for me to read. Boy Crazy Stacey is my favorite of the Baby-Sitter's Club comics. I like the beach theme and the romance of it. It has some good artwork. My favorite characters are Claudia and Stacey. And there is a lot of LGBTQ, woke, and trans stuff in the kids section too. I read Dungeon Club volumes 1 and 2 and it has gay and trans stuff. The real life players use DnD to enact their gay and trans fantasies. Dungeon Club probably should be in the Teen section if it has trans stuff in it.
>>151328811Sorry chud, but neo-freudians have scientifically determined that children's genders are set at age 3. So trans kids exist because... shut up bigot.
>>151328811>Dungeon ClubThat's HarperCollins
>>151327545>>151327559And yet you guys didn't grow up in the culture of it. You grew up in the capeshit culture of the gen-x/millennial.Gen alpha will grow up in the culture of it, because they're going to have the movies based on the properties, and the capeshit will be a tiny blip to them.You zoomers are retarded for how culture works.
>>151329018Name three scholastic movies
>>151328952My point was that it was in the kid's graphic novel section, right next to lots of other Scholastic graphic novels. I call the general style of comics "the Scholastic style." Scholastic has A LOT of LGBTQ stuff too. 7 pages worth of LGBTQ stuff. I read a few of them like "The Girl from the Sea" and "Welcome to St. Hell." But those were in the Teen section. https://shop.scholastic.com/parent-ecommerce/featured-shops/lgbtqia.html
>>151329035Harry PotterGuardians of Ga'HooleCaptain Underpants
>>151328811>Dungeon Club probably should be in the Teen section if it has trans stuff in it.Children are being taught that certain people exist????? the horror!!!
>>151327561dudes love capitalism until the concept of supply and demand doesn’t work out for them>>151327849more like whenever women bring up a situation where economics results in uneven situations for women, like say the lack of televised women's sports, chuds just scream "supply and demand!" and we're all supposed to accept it, but now that this applies to women because women buy more books, it's some kind of woke conspiracy
Are book fairs still a thing?
>>151330142>but now that this applies to women because women buy more booksAgain, thats because most publishers are women, so most of the books being published are geared exclusively towards woman, with a lot of garbage smut books. Sports are different because men are naturally more athletic and stronger, so they're more interesting to watch>>151330109the problem is that they're presented in a positive image
>>151328811>>Once you've read one Scholastic book, you've kind of read them all.Yes, I'm sure Animorphs had a lot of thematic crossover with... The Baby Sitters Club...
>>151330560DEAR GOD, I'll bet they present minorities in a positive light too!
>>151297689They also publish the Margo Maloo series
>>151332660Cute
>>151297343If I'm being super honest, I can kind of see why this one didn't do so well. Thompson was doing a lot of semi serious graphic novels rooted in reality, suddenly making a kids sci-fi probably alienated some people
>>151330560Based
>>151329068All the more reason not let kids near their slop. Fucking faggots.
>>151328811>Faggots: "We're not indoctrinating your children.">Also faggots: makes books about faggot shit for childrenAnd then one day, for no reason at all, everyone elected Hiter into power.

>>151331613>positive mannerThere's nothing postive about buttsex, faggot. Kill yourself.
What did you buy? I bought Stephen Stanley's Puzzle Animals and pic related (I thought it would be like SimPark and SimSafari but you could create your own creatures)
>>151297059/co/ the type to only want capeshit
>>151315882They're not the same entity as there were in the 90s. They're now woke & are selling faggot books on their shelves. Mind you these books are aimed for CHILDREN. They are slop.Don't let your kids read Scholastic slop!
>>151335700>I thought it would be like SimPark and SimSafari but you could create your own creaturesOh you also made that mistake then?I was in a GATE program that year and the computers in the back of the class has this and some kind of movie maker with cartoon animals.I'll give you one guess which was more popular.
>>151297059Pilkey and Telgamayier hard carry them. We don't talking about them because their books are for little kids and most posters here are 30+ years old and don't read Dogman or Captain Underpants
>>151297343This guy let his brother get molested by his babysitter for years and did nothing
>>151325121School is for fools.
>>151321599Fusion is gay
>>151335761>Oh you also made that mistake then?The cover made it look more impressive than it was
>>151333781He looks like he's trying too hard to appeal to kids but doesn't understand them. The art is also too detailed and high effort, which ruins the comedic appeal to kids. His editor failed him and should have told him no several times while this book was being created.
>>151302823>start off strong with a unique story>introduce major arc that drags on for the remainder of the series (half+)>ending is dull, main characters are ruinedCaptain Underpants was My Hero Academia before it existed. At least Horikoshi could blame editors for significant changes to the story he wanted to tell, and showed us he could do well with his Vigilantes side series.
Everyone mentioned book fairs but not that their books are everywhere else too. Every grocery store, Walmart, Costco, CVS. I think you can literally buy Dogman at Home Depot.
>>151330560>picI am exceptionally relieved to know that I am not alone.
>>151335957I was thinking this, this is something that Scholastic has over DC and Marvel. Being able to find and buy their books at local stores gives them a major advantage.
>>151335957I saw the latest Sunny volume at a Target
>>151336050It's because their books have more mass appeal and are easier for new readers to get in to than marvel and DC.
>>151329093Harry Potter is not a fucking scholastic book.
>>151337073It's published and marketed by Scholastic in the US.
>>151337098It literally could have been published by anyone.Scholastic has nothing to do with its popularity at all.
>>151297059Selling directly to kids and making a big event of it that encourages spending money. It's not even a fair fight when Scholastic gets direct access and a captive audience, while every other comic publisher has to rely on brick and mortar stores, which they actively fuck over, ensuring that their retailers don't survive in the long run to ensure that people even even able to keep buying their comics.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but scholastic gets its funding primarily through ESSA grants. They're not a government entity, but they'd be either crippled without it, or they'd have to rely more heavily on the funding they also get from Blackrock.
>>151328811The parents are starting to be vocal about homosexual and trans books. And Im pretty sure scholastic nor the schools who pushed it onto theur children are going to survive the backlash. Bookfairs might actually be ended because of this.
>>151309549The sort of thing that happened purely by accident and could never happen again.
>>151337153Oh...thats why they're pushing queer indoctrination
>>151337201They have to tell you before it happens. Its part of the spell..or as you call it mental programming. The queer brainwashing of children is more clumsy and obvious snd damned to failure. But they dont care. They want mentally and physically broken generation that needs drugs and the system they've created to function. Not happy healthy breeders with strong families that can tell them fuck off ir worse fight back. Sort of how circumcision is pushed
>>151337255Shut the fuck up, schizo.
Scholastic published this trans book. Welcome to St. Hell. It's an autobiographical memoir comic about a FtM transgender in England.

>>151335973same its really fun
>>151338151No. I dropped out. It's a place for stupid people.
I remember always forgetting to ask my parents for money when a book fair would happen in the library. Also it's depressing to know that my generation were the last to actually attend bookfairs.
>>151337629Here's the author btw. Proceed to name & shame. Check out those woman-like shoulders. And apparently she's a YouTuber. Fucking mentally ill zipper tit dyke.
>>151297343Remember when there'd be one book at the book fair that everyone wanted and it would sell out on day one and so many kids would be upset they'd have to scramble to get more copies in before the end of the week?
>>151297259This is co tho desu.
>>151318319Nobody got more literate reading Captain Underpants. They were selling picture books to kids that should have been reading The Giver.
>>151330142They're the same type of grifter that turn men and boys off to reading too. There's a big dip in the amount of men who read these days and this toxic thinking has a lot to do with it. Books are made to be seen as feminine, particularly fiction, and these guys are surprised when women and girls buy more books.
>>151343392> these guys are surprised when women and girls buy more books.Actually it’s the opposite, with people wondering why guys don’t want to read feminism slop
Since this thread is still going, can I talk about Spy Gear Adventures some more? This series is the best thing Scholastic ever did and the best middle-grade fiction series of all time, even surpassing Artemis Fowl.
>>151343392Name ten male aimed nonfiction books released in the last 5 years.And I dont mean some fag or feminist trash. I mean a book for boys and or men.Not even comics are for normal boys anymore. Reading isn't seen as feminine. The book industry is ruled by a degenerate clannish sisterhood who ruthlessly gatekeeps the entire thing.
>>151340820Uts always 50/50 if they fucked up their cunt with surgery. And if they didnt their almost always bald and easily used as a fleshlight by perverse men.

>>151337629wow what a great looking book I would love to pay to read this!
So, what about them Goosebumps?
>>151343472Surely you mean fiction books?The amount of nonfiction technical or pop-science books aimed at traditionally male disciplines is huge every year.
How come whenever the thread gets bumped, it was an anon posting Geronimo Stilton clips and images? Other than it being a Scholastic thread and they distributed the books. I mean, Disney put out a trailer for a new Diary of a Wimpy Kid adaptation and no one is talking about it.
