GRAPHIC NOVELS

Comics & Graphic Novels are an excellent resource

for developing literacy and visual literacy.

And kids love them!

There are generally two kinds of graphic novels.

The “collected” editions, which are just that; a number of single issues

bound together in book form.

And, graphic novels, long comic stories told in book form.
