Paul Gravett Presents Three Top 10 Graphic Novels Lists For 2014

On his site, the writer, curator and all-time well-connected industry individual Paul Gravett has posted three different lists, which collectively serve as his Best-Of thoughts for 2014. Those groupings are British, North American, and European translated to English. As one might expect, they are classy and well-considered. I'm happy to see Gast take one of the three top slots.
