If you’re a comics lover, don’t fret — it’s not too early to share your love of everything comics — yes, really! While they may not be excited for a trip to your local comic store just yet, there are plenty of board books with fun and age-appropriate introductions to comic book heroes and geek culture that are fun for you to read, too. (Because let’s be honest: reading a stack of board books can get tedious and having some fun books in the pile can make things a little less painful). In putting this list together, I have to note that the growing diversity in comics writing and illustrating has unfortunately not transferred over to comic board books/little kid books, at least not yet. These are some of my favorite comics to share with babies — YMMV depending on your favorite comics character. If you’re looking for even more books for your baby, check out this post on interactive board books and this post on high-contrast board books.
