There are many ways of enjoying great stories and beautiful, engaging artwork—one of these ways is through reading graphic novels and comics. Both express a story with art—but while comics tend to extend the story over a series of issues, graphic novels tell an engaging story in a single book. Fortunately, comics & graphic novels can be enjoyed anytime you want from your electronic device. With OverDrive on the Libby app and hoopla digital, you can download graphic novels and comics to a smartphone, tablet or computer for easy reading. Downloading is free when you log on with your library card number and PIN. Below are some recommended graphic novels and comics for adults, young adults, and kids. Enjoy and happy reading.
