Our Story

Founded in 2017, Tulsa Pop Kids began as a small group of passionate individuals who saw the impact comic books had on their own literacy journeys. Many of us grew up discovering the magic of reading through superheroes and larger-than-life adventures. We understand how powerful storytelling can be in shaping young minds, inspiring creativity, and offering positive role models.

Since our inception, we have distributed over 10,000 comic books to children at schools, hospitals, and events, with our outreach growing every year. In 2020 alone, we reached 15,000 children through various literacy initiatives.
