I have compiled the list of the wonderful recommendations everyone sent me for building our new Adult Graphic Novel collection, I had many requests for the results to be shared. If a title had more than one recommendation I put the number of recommendations behind it in parentheses. I also included any helpful links I was sent.

The top 5 most-recommended series were:

· Walking Dead

· Saga

Maus 1 and 2

· Watchmen

· Sandman

We are very excited for our new collection! I have already begun ordering, thank you all so much for your help!

Subject: Adult Graphic Novels: Building the Core Collection

Hi All. This message is specifically for adult graphic novel gurus J

We are building a brand new adult graphic novel collection here at ODL and we only have space at first for about 10 shelves. Can you reply off list and send me your TOP 5 adult graphic novels/series!?

I’ve been doing some research but would love to add your thoughts as well. We have nice junior and teen graphic novel collections going that are quite popular – so I don’t really need suggestions for the younger areas.

I would be happy to compile the results and send out to everyone if you like.

Thanks for your help. Have a great day!
