A true “graphic novel” is a book which uses illustrations to “tell the story.” First Regional Library has a large collection of graphic novels for children, but there are also many titles intended for adult readers. These books contain many themes and subjects that can be found in the traditional “narrative” formats of adult fiction and non-fiction. Some of the most popular “Graphic Novels for Adults” are:
