Graphic Novels Now in Children’s Room
Many of the graphic novels for children started their lives as syndicated comics or comic books. Essentially, each title represents one comic book or a series of comics released separately that told a continuing story.
Some examples of these are:
“Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories”
“Bone Out from Boneville, “ and “Bone, the Great Cow Chase” by Jeff Smith
the “Star Wars Clone Wars” books by Haden Blackman
the Superman books by Mark Millar
Others take familiar characters or stories and translate them into the illustration-heavy graphic novel style.
Nancy Drew has new stories written by Stefan Petrucha
The Hardy Boys are in new stories by Scott Lobdel
“The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” was adapted by Robin Lawrie
Occasionally, an author writes just for graphic novels.
“City of Light, City of Dark” by Avi
“Tex the Cowboy” by Sarah Garland.
