Comics
Each page here lists one series from the first book to the newest, with the year each came out, whose age it is and the day the next book arrives. Tap the books you've read on its checklist, and it shows what to read next.
The ticks stay on your own device and are never sent anywhere. Print the reading log and it fits on one page for the fridge. Titles, order and years come from the publishers' pages and are dated on each page. No affiliate links, and nobody paid to be here.

What's great about comics
A comic is read panel by panel. The speech bubbles hold what people say, cloud bubbles hold what they think, boxes tell you what's happening, and big letters like BOOM! are the sounds. The white gaps between panels are where time passes, and you fill them in with your own imagination. That's real reading: following a story, keeping track of who's who and guessing what comes next. The parts of a comic · How to read a comic · Quiz: panel, bubble or box?
Comic strip
A few panels in a row, and usually a joke at the end. Three boxes, one big laugh.
Graphic novel
A whole book told in panels, with a beginning, a middle and an end, just like a chapter book.
Manga
Comics from Japan. Many are read right to left, starting from what looks like the back cover!
Half and half
Part chapter book, part comic: the words and the pictures take turns telling the story.
No words at all
Some comics have hardly any words. You read the faces, the moves and the pictures.
First comics: a few words a page
Pizza and Taco by Stephen Shaskan
Ages 5–8 Big panels with a line or two of speech in each bubble, split into short chapters.
The Bad Guys by Aaron Blabey
Ages 6–10 Big pictures and few words on a page, part comic and part chapter book.
Narwhal and Jelly by Ben Clanton
Ages 6–9 Very short comics in big panels with only a line or two of text each, plus sea-creature facts at the end of some chapters.
Pea, Bee, & Jay by Brian "Smitty" Smith
Ages 6–10 Short books of big panels with very few words in each bubble and puns on every page, made for new readers.
Every series page now says what book 1 is like inside: words and panels a page, colour, which way it reads, how long it is, and whether it's funny, exciting, a little scary or has sad bits.

Asked by families
Does Dog Man have to be read in order?
Start with book 1 and read them in number order. Each book has its own adventure, but the characters and the running jokes carry over from one book to the next, so a reader who goes in order gets more of the jokes. A child handed book 7 first will still follow it; they can go back for the early ones after. Dog Man in order
When does the next book come out, and how do you know?
From the publisher's own page for that book, where one opened, and the day is the US release day. A book turns from "coming" to "out" at midnight in New York on its day, and the page redraws within the hour. A day can slip; when a publisher moves it, the page moves with it. The coming-out calendar
Where are my child's ticks kept?
In this browser on this device, and nowhere else. They are never sent to Peabody or tied to a name. My shelf gathers them from every series. Clearing the browser's data clears them, so print the reading log if it matters. My shelf
Why are there no covers, blurbs or prices?
Covers and blurbs belong to the publishers and illustrators, so Peabody shows only facts: titles, numbers, years and days. There are no shop links, nobody paid to be listed, and no series page sells anything.
What does "Peabody's own estimate" mean next to an age?
It means no publisher page we could open gave an age for that series, so the age is ours, from our lists and what is in the books, and the page says so. Today that is 25 of the 48 series. Where a publisher does give an age, the page names the publisher. How the ages are chosen
