Graphic Novels @ MLC


Did you know that we have graphic novels in our collection? We sure do, and we want to tell you all about them!

So, what is a graphic novel? According to getgraphic.org, graphic novels are "similar to comic books because they use sequential art to tell a story", but they are "generally stand-alone stories with more complex plots." Graphic novels span many genres in both fiction and nonfiction.
