Recommendations time! Here are some graphic novels I suggest for younger readers (7+, but please evaluate each reader individually). I tried to focus on realistic stories and characters, even when the settings tip toward the fantastical.


That’s right! I’ve signed with @AUAgency for presentations and speaking events! 😊 I’m adding a limited number of school visits back into my yearly calendar, so please hit them up with inquiries. International too! Yay!! authorsunbound.com/raina-telgemei…

11 ideas for enlivening a comics page. Some pages will just lay there, not engaging you. And if you're not engaged, the reader won't be either. Let’s talk about ways to solve those problems from the picture-making side. 🧵

Here’s Trung with a little masterclass on the semiotics of comics.

A comic is not strictly a sequence of drawings. Comics are hand-written books. The pictures also constitute the “writing” part. This is most evident in Sunday strip comics. The drawings are not depictive; they’re semiotic. All cartoons are. And they’re dynamically negotiated.

I think most of us know writing and visual art are differently challenging. And I cannot stress enough that comics are not Those Two Things Together, it’s literally a weird third thing!
