<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">Hello everybody.<br>
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? <br>
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?
<br>
<br>
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?<br>
<br>
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.
<br>
The CEO of the company, Latoya Smith,is copied on this email if you wish to contact her directly but her email is
