School Library Journal Profiles GNs

imageSchool Library Journal features graphic novels on the cover of its recent issue, in support of this Michele Gorman article on the general trend towards GN readership that includes a long list of comics for kids and the appropriate age groups book to book. I think it's sort of an interesting list because I'm only familiar with about half the works mentioned. I don't know if that's a sign of relative health or an indication I'm just out of touch, but it may be that the category is deeper and more varied than conventional wisdom would have us believe. And if you don't believe me or the School Library Journal, it's almost always impossible to argue with one of Paul Gravett's erudite surveys. (first link via Kids' Comics)
