In France, we have a comics called Asterix and you can find it in latin. It’s pretty funny!
It seems than Tintin (another cartoon is also available in latin): de sigaris pharaonis and de isola negra…
There is this shop on line who solds latin and ancient greek stuff (they have Asterix): http://librarius.net/boutique_librarius/home.php.
But the best is you type "asterix latin" in http://www.amazon.com ’s query and you will find them…
That’s all I can think about…
Mel Gibson did, "The Passion of the Christ" in Latin (my son was taking Latin at the time and I was able to pick up a few words here and there without reading the subscripts). I’m guessing it was ecclesiastical (church) Latin, which has a slightly different pronunciation.
I also know there are several children’s books (Winnie the Pooh and Cat in the Hat, for example) that have been printed in Latin.
