Abstract
Between October and December of 2002, 733 fourththrough eighth-graders in New York City sketched, plotted, wrote, and designed original comic books. The project involved 48 teachers at 33 sites. The goal of the project was to forge an alternative pathway to literacy via the visual arts. While the results demonstrated that the pathway had been realized, something equally important came to light. The children used the comic book format to depict their lives as American urban youths-what they experience, how they respond to extraordinary circumstances, and how they struggle with daily hardships.
