Hi - Are there extra large comic books for the visually impaired? (self.Blind)

Also what kinds of features do you like to have in a literary gift that ensure you are able to enjoy it?

Most people I know with vision loss, they use CCTVs to read comics or get digital versions, so they can zoom in.

I'll look for digital version instead of a oversized book. I think monitors may give their eyes trouble in a way that a kindle with the text size maxed out doesn't though. So I will have to make sure digital copies are viable for them. Thanks!

To my knowledge there aren't.

There are some audio comics (like through Graphic Audio or Comics Empower)

For sight reading, the best option is usually to use a tablet or computer as you can zoom in to increase the size of pictures and text. This will only work up to a certain level of sight loss, of course.

Do you know this person likes comics? Could you give them a gift card to a digital comics outlet?

A gift card for a digital comics outlet is a great idea! I didn't actually know about digital comics outlets.


I know they are interested in a Maus, however, a gift card would give me a safety net.
