101 Outstanding Graphic Novels

the long version

The popular primer on the best graphic novels, initially called *The 101 Best Graphic Novels*, is back in its third updated edition. Expert librarian Stephen Weiner —with the crowdsourcing help of professionals in the field, from artists to critics to leading comic store owners— has sifted through the bewildering thousands of graphic novels now available to come up with an outstanding, not-to-be-missed 101. With an all-encompassing variety of genres, including both fiction and nonfiction, this serves as a great introduction to this increasingly influential world of pop culture and entertainment while also serving as a reference list for fans on what they may have possibly overlooked.
