Genre Book Club for Adults: Comics and Graphic Novels
Join Clearing Branch for our Genre Book Club. Read a book from the selected genre each month, then talk about what you read in our monthly Zoom discussions.
In August, we'll be talking about comics and graphic novels. The origins of the graphic novel can be traced back to the advent of comic books in the early 20th century. However, it wasn’t until the 1960s and 1970s that the potential of comics to tell more complex, adult-oriented stories began to be fully realized. Graphic novels encompass a wide range of genres, styles, and themes, offering a rich and diverse field of literature that engages readers of all ages and interests.
Can't think of a book? Don't worry, we have you covered. Check out our genre picks list and try a title from there, or visit us at the library - we'll have plenty to choose from. Then join us online for the genre-sation!
