Questions:

How did you go about distributing it?

How was it received?

It's all in English so did the students show interest?

I just made a school newspaper. I kinda went off bum1 idea. To distibute it, I just put it out in front of the teachers lounge and told the students about, Some were curious about. So they took it. Some of the articles, if the word were hard, I made hint word on the bottom just like there book. The comic were a little small, sop i started running manga, one piece, in english to get them to practice reading. That went quick. 30 copies gone in 4 days.

If you haven't already, try running a comic contest where you blot out various comics' text and the students have to fill in the blanks using English. I've done this quite a few times with my students...really popular!

Keep up the great work, Pakalika!

Great idea! Have just started to do that and am curious about the turnout. I really hope a few students will participate.
The Marvel website used to do such a contest, took part a couple of times (got 3rd once^^).
