Tales Beyond is a new independent comic book publisher based in the Bronx, NY. We're a bunch of guys and gals who've come to make a splash in the world of comics and storytelling with our amazing stories and unforgettable characters. Our tales are meant to push readers beyond the typical superhero stories that have become popular in the mainstream and span the various genres of cult and pop fiction. Horror? We have it. Monsters and creatures? They’re our pets. Fantasy sword and sorcery with a cartoon twist? Look at our first release! Post-apocalyptic science fiction... keep an eye out!
Our stories are naturally unique for their diversity as well as their inclusivity. Our characters reach out to every age and reader regardless of race or gender and beliefs or preferences. A whopping ninety percent of the individuals who have taken part in building our content are people of color, with majority of our talent coming from outside the US and hailing from all across Latin America.
Not only do we publish comic books, but we celebrate nerd culture as well, embracing the ideas brought from video games, pulp magazines, and genre storytelling in the form of merchandise. Currently, we sell apparel and gear based on our franchises but will soon be incorporating more fun and exciting items with each new release.
Stories in Motion was founded in January 2001 by Ann Biddle, offering an innovative approach to teaching dance to children that links creative movement and story telling. Our classes create a nurturing, non-competitive learning atmosphere where dance skills and the creative process are combined into a dynamic physical and imaginative experience for children. Stories come to life through dance! The program is based on the nationally acclaimed Dance Education Laboratory (DEL) model of creative dance for children that Ms. Biddle was instrumental in developing in New York City. A thematic and integrated arts curriculum is the foundation of our work with children. Age appropriate lessons engage the child at each level and appeal to a wide range of abilities. Our classes nurture creative expression and provide: dance education for the entire family an alternative to recital based dance programs a stimulating and fun atmosphere a place for multiple learning styles movement experiences for boys and girls alike Stories in Motion is truly dance education for the 21st Century!
