Free Comics Library and Livestreamed Art Demonstrations Also Available to Fans
New York, N.Y. (April 2, 2020) – In an effort to support #StayAtHome efforts to control the spread of the COVID-19 virus, Fan The Flame Concepts LLC, an independent comic and graphic novel producer, today announced that Neymar Jr. Comics has released free activity pages for children, downloadable on the Neymar Jr. Comics website and Facebook page. The pages include comic scene panels to color, word search puzzles and more.
Last week, Neymar Jr. Comics made its entire library of more than 200 individual episodes across all titles and all six languages available free to fans who are sequestered in their homes for the duration of the crisis. In addition, its comic book artists will be hosting more free livestreams with demonstrations of character and panel drawings on its Facebook page and YouTube channel, including the next session on Friday, April 3 at 2 p.m. ET featuring artist Mauricio Caballero.
“It’s great that even in this time of isolation our team has responded quickly to offer free activities and educational opportunities for families everywhere to enjoy together through the web and our apps.” Said Neymar Jr.
Neymar Jr. Comics has more than 3 million global followers who enjoy its comics on Fan The Flame’s immersive digital comics platform via mobile app or at www.NeymarJrComics.com, where readers can access in six languages on one site, a unique application in the comic world. As each episode is released in English, Castilian and Latin American Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian, this brings the total to over 1,200 episodes available free.
With stories inspired by the international star athlete and developed by New York Times-bestselling author and comic and graphic novel creator Jason M. Burns, Neymar Jr. Comics offers superhero and sci-fi titles, as well as titles designed for younger readers that focus on geography, history, science and the value of friendship.
With more than one billion children worldwide currently out of their classrooms, the multi-lingual stories can be used by parents and teachers to help make their remote language lessons more fun, and the activity pages are designed to help families and children stay entertained and educated during this difficult time.
Neymar Jr. Comics are available exclusively on its website or through the dynamic, immersive experience of the Neymar Jr. Comics mobile app. The app is available in either iOS format through the App Store or Android format in the Google Play Store.
A portion of the proceeds of Neymar Jr. Comics are donated to the Instituto Projeto Neymar Jr., the athlete’s non-profit social organization
