Chance's Corner: Children's Graphic Novels

We have a lot to offer at the Franklin County Library, but most people don't know about one of the hidden gems we offer -- graphic novels for children.

Graphic novels are comic-strip style, illustrated adventures that are usually stand-alone, instead of being released serially, and have a more complex plot. Our selections of graphic novels cover both the fiction and non-fiction genres that cover a range of subjects from superheros to mythical heroes, from the history of Indiana Jones to the history of the American Dust Bowl, and from Boxcar Children mysteries to Scooby-Doo mysteries.

The fascinating thing about graphic novels is the artwork put into them, which is oftentimes just as enthralling as the story itself. In the right hands, a graphic novel can be a work of art and can convey more than any words could ever do. With the examples below, which we all have here at the library, you can see that no drawing style is alike.















If your child, or your child at heart, would like to read a graphic novel, they can all be found in our juvenile section. Check them out today!
