Pride High in Braille
September 16th 2007 -
I like being the bearer of good news.
And so, I bring this bit of good news to your attention:
Pride High has attracted blind and visually impaired fans with the positive portrayal of a super-powered member of their community. Suravi, whose name means “sun” in Sanskrit, is a radiant solar blaster with the most powerful attack of her 5-kid squad. Many of her fans have had to rely on commentary from sighted friends to keep with her story. Not anymore! The Braille version of Pride High #1 was recently released! The comic was adapted into short story format by Pride High fan John D. Taylor and transcribed by the LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired. The Braille adaptation for Issue 2 is currently in production.
The actual embossed Braille cover is protected by the original issue’s cover art on flat paper:
