I liked Persepolis a lot. I think I will check out a few. My BTT post

I feel I am in a similar boat as you. I have nothing against the graphic novel, but have read none. I need to...I acknowledge that. When I was a kid, I was obsessed with the comic Swamp Thing (don't ask me why) but there is where it ends. I like Dilbert. I am really reaching, aren't I?

I loved Archie comics when I was a kid. While I don’t dislike graphic novels,I do prefer the character development of a regular novel.

I’ve read a few graphic novels. I think that there is one for everyone and my list of graphic novels to read is always growing.

I've got some tips on my post about how to venture into the world of graphic novels, if you're interested in doing so. I'm very much a literary fiction person myself, so I had to first get a glimpse into the artistry behind them and then I could appreciate them as a wholly separate type of art, rather than comparing them to novels (which helps me). You can check out my post here.

I haven't read a ton of graphic novels, but I loved Epileptic by David B. It is incredible. Jess’s last blog post..Talking with Joshua Henkin

I forgot Persepolis too! My mental TBR of graphic novels has grown quite a bit today. I also love internet comic strips. I think it's easier because they require so much less attention. It's only a couple of minutes rather than a whole book. Meghan’s last blog post..BTT: Comic Books

I haven't read many graphic novels myself. I found in Jodi Picoult's novel The Tenth Circle that the graphical portions got in my way a little bit. However, I really did love Maus and Maus II. I think that graphics really added something that can't be quantified to those novels. I think that you will love those like I did.
