January 2022 'COMIC CRUSADERS' Magazine

Pow! Bang! Zap!

OwlCrate Jr's 'COMIC CRUSADERS' box was the perfect choice for fans of all things comic book. Take a peek through our January 2022 monthly magazine for an interview with our featured author, a fill-in-your-own-adventure activity, community interviews, and more!

Look out! Spoilers ahead!

Cover for the OwlCrate Jr January 2022 Comic Crusaders magazine. From left to right, image shows a kid with tanned skin in a green superhero costume and laser goggles, below them is a child with black hair in a pink superhero costume, and to the right of both of them is a young Black child in a yellow and orange superhero costume easily holding up a large stack of books. Comic book panels and graphic effects surround the three children in various colours.

Let's take a quick moment to admire our January magazine cover art by one of our favorite artistic superheroes, the incomparable Melanie Demmer! She perfectly captured the the vibrant, comic book vibe we were aiming for with the greatest of ease.
