Graphic novels have become an integral part of popular culture and society, and an area of serious academic scholarship. SMU Libraries’ curated display celebrates renowned graphic novels that go beyond schoolyard comics to tackle issues such as racism, corruption, sexuality, faith, and love. Explore a classic, such as Maus (1992 Pulitzer Prize winner) or a contemporary novel like Sabrina (2018 Man Booker Prize nominee). We also include a selection of titles focusing on the history and criticism of this genre.
Visit the display at the New Arrivals shelf on Level 2 of Li Ka Shing Library from 23 January to 30 January.
