Hi,

I’ve been blind since about age five but I remember my brother reading me his comics and describing all the pictures and so forth. I haven’t thought about them much, but I would be interested in accessible comics if they existed. I wouldn’t want them specifically directed to blind people though. I’d want them to be versions of normal comics. If that makes sense.

Hello everybody.
My name is Stacie Leap. I am currently an intern for a company and we were on the discussion of comic books and its accessibility for blind people. I am not a fan of comic books even when I had sight so I am not really knowledgeable about the topic. Does anybody on this listserv read comic books? Is it accessible?
If you do not read comic books, is it because of it not being accessible? What would or should accessible look like when it comes to comic books?

One of the projects of the company, 3S Tech and Talent, LLC., is a comic book. The CEO is interested in making it accessible for those who are blind but (a) do not know if there was already a means to make comic books accessible and (b) if it is not, would blind people be interested in reading comic books if it is accessible?

She is willing to go through her entire comic book and alt text the frames but she does not want to do it if there is no interest.
The CEO of the company, Latoya Smith,is copied on this email if you wish to contact her directly but her email is info at 3stechnologiesllc.com<mailto:info at 3stechnologiesllc.com>.
. Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks!
