I think it's really important to get children into comics, because they are after all the people that will carry on this niche market that is so massively popular. So here's something for the kids: Return of the Gremlins.

Return of the Gremlins

Gremlins was originally created by Roald Dahl who also wrote other stories for kids like James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Matilda, so you're certain to find something very entertaining for the kids if you buy this. There are a lot of words, but it's smoothed out by an equal amount of cute pictures which are easy to adore (which are available to see through the previews), especially for the kids. Also, check out the related items as well; statues and a few other books about the Gremlins. And I doubt you could go past the plot description:

Our story opens on Gus, a man visiting England from the States. His grandfather's house is part of his inheritance, and he plans to sell it as soon as he can. Even though the locals think the house is haunted--something Gus immediately dismisses--a slick man named Mr. Snide promptly appears with his "associates" and makes an offer. But when Gus declines to sign over the house right then and there, Snide reveals that his arrangement with the mayor will seal the deal soon enough!

Left to explore the place, Gus experiences a series of very odd events. How did his folded clothes end up in knots? Who on earth would drill a hole in a coffee cup? Certainly not ghosts, but for a former fighter pilot's abandoned old home, it sure is clean . . .

When the house's tiny residents decide to take extreme measures, Gus will meet the gremlins up close and personal-just like his grandfather, who first discovered them sixty years ago!

And hey, if you're not into kids, you can always buy a copy for yourself and relive the memories of being a kid.
