Core Collection Lists

As a staff, we’ve considered nominations, voted, and created a series of recommended core title lists. These are the titles and series that we believe belong on all library shelves. Some are the most popular, others classics of the format, and some the most engaging titles for both fans of graphic novels and new comics readers.
