  • Summary

  • Anyone else getting into the fall moods now that we’re well into October? As we read through our two picks for this month, we should consider a lot of things: their stories, of course, but the way that the artwork enriches the stories, too. The possibility that the specific ways these stories are told matters a lot, and not just because we might like or dislike the way they’re drawn. Today, I’ll share short author bios for our three writers/artists of interest for the month and share my first impressions of each of the books. Beyond that, I think it quite important to lay out all the cards on why graphic novels have emerged as such a majorly important player on the field of literacy, and relevant also to speculate how and why they might be here to stay. Like we’ve said before about any other stories told in any other format, their tellers have a reason for doing so; finding that reason might be one of the most important pieces to understanding the story as a whole.
