Comics and graphic novels

Good morning readers!

Recently in the library there has been a craze for graphic novels and comics. We've recently expanded our collection of graphic novels, so why not come and check out our new books in the library? If you want to see what we have, go to the library catalogue and do a keyword search for "comics". Here's a few of the books we have available:

If you've already read all the comics and graphic novels in the library or you just fancy trying something different, there are tons of fantastic (free) online graphic novels and comics. Here's a selection of some of my favourites...

            The Wormworld Saga 

Available in a range of languages, the Wormworld Saga is an online graphic novel. It's a story about a young boy who finds a secret doorway into another world in his grandmother's attic - and it's a story about a giant dragon trapped in a mountain, and about the mysterious Firelord who rises from the fires of Worm Mountain.
