A comic book series I'd recommend for young readers is "Tiny Titans," released by DC Comics. It's a very funny and light-hearted stand-alone series featuring the young heroes of DC, including Robin, Kid Flash, Wonder Girl, Starfire, Cyborg, and Beast Boy. The older heroes like Superman and Batman do appear, but only in Tom-And-Jerry style (we don't see their faces, just their body from the neck on down).
The issues tend to feature a single theme. Among the stories are:
- The Tiny Titans uniforms are accidentally washed with Superman's cape and it turns everyone's uniform pink.
- Due to an accident with a magic wand, all of the Tiny Titans are turned into monkeys.
Despite being for very young readers, it also features many in-jokes for the long-time readers (Deathstroke is the principle at the Tiny Titans' school, penguins from one of the Batman movies make an appearance...and a big mess for the Tiny Titans). The early issues have been collected as trade paperbacks.
