More information on the Notable Graphic
Novels Review: The primary objective of this list is to
acknowledge and celebrate the craft of sequential art from the previous year by
tapping into the experience and love of this medium from ARLIS/NA members. As a
result, this annual publication can assist (art) library workers in improving
their own institutional collections of graphic novels by providing summaries,
critical evaluations, and informed recommendations.
Cheers!
