Request Comics for Schools
A comic book can turn a reluctant reader into an eager one. ComicBooks for Schools brings educational comic content straight to the kids you teach — many kits come bundled with educational materials designed to work alongside the comics themselves, not just the books on their own. Some schools qualify to receive kits at no cost; others are welcome to purchase a kit directly.
Fill out the form below and we will contact you to finalize details and make arrangements for you to receive your materials!
More About the Program

If you’re not sure whether your program qualifies, just [contact us] — we’re glad to help you find out.
What you’ll receive
Every box is matched to the age range and grade level of the kids you teach, and you choose the option that fits your students:
-
Gen-Ed K-12. A collection of printed materials suited to classrooms, libraries, and study rooms, including comics, graphic novels, children’s books, and educational magazines.
-
Neurodivergent. Every printed option in the Gen-Ed K-12 box, plus more hands-on items like Funko Pops, T-shirts, and toys, just like what we send to children in hospitals.
At the heart of each box are our custom-made comics, created just for us and combining educational material with educational resources that work alongside the story. See our main [Comic Books for Schools] page for everything we offer.
Looking for Catholic comics or braille and accessible materials? Those are fulfilled through our specialty partners. Visit the [Specialty Partners] section on our main page to make a donation.
