Graphic Content's First Year Line-up!

Alrighty guys!  The books for our first year of graphic novel discussion group have been chosen and have all safely arrived into my possession.  Huzzah! 

There are 12 copies of each book, so that is how many members are being admitted.  The meetings are going to run on the second monday of each month at 6:00 pm, September through May.  If you are truly interested in joining and are available, please get in touch with me soon so that I can get you officially signed up!

Feel free to do a little research into these titles, but try not to spoil the surprise!  These books might not be what you expect from a comic book either in content, style, or art.  I tried to pull from a little bit of everywhere.  These stories include everything ranging from war, romance, horror, and humor.  When I was figuring out which books to use for this project, I compiled a rather large list.  The books that didn't make the first year's cut may be used next year.  I am going to make this list available as recommended reading on one of the side tabs. 

Hope to hear from you soon!
