The Best of 2007: Graphic Novel Lists
December 17, 2007

I love graphic novels, but I've neglected them in 2007, so I'm sharing these lists as a means of self-education as much as for your edification... I'm including lists for different age ranges so that if (like me) you're still doing holiday shopping, you may include a graphic novel or three:

-- Salon.com's Best Graphic Novels of 2007

-- TIME magazine's Top Ten Graphic Novels

-- The Quill Awards Winner and Nominees for Best Graphic Novel (you'll have to scroll down, below Religion & Spirituality)

-- YALSA's Top Ten Great Graphic Novels for Teens (via Heidi McDonald's The Beat)

-- Amazon.com Editor's Picks in Comics & Graphic Novels

-- "Deck Your Store with Cool New Comics" by Calvin Reid and Heidi McDonald

-- Cybils 2007 Graphic Novel Nominations (via DadTalk)

My choices: one new: "Alice in Sunderland" by Bryan Talbot; and one old: "I Am What I Yam" (Popeye) by E. C. Segar (second volume due out momentarily).

Many thanks for the link to the Cybils nominations, Bethanne. I'm so glad you found us. We'll announce winners on Feb. 14 at blog.cybils.com. Have a terrific holiday.

Wow. I'm so excited to see that you listed the Cybils nominations. I wasn't sure how many people would be looking at these and someone nominated my book The Call to Shakabaz in a few categories (not graphic novels). Now I feel honored just to be nominated. You give me reason to hope that there are people who are reading through the list of nominations who might see mine listed and take a chance on reading it. It also confirms my belief that kidlitosphere bloggers are the wave of the future when it comes to getting the word out about great children's books (particularly since kidlit doesn't get reviewed in newspapers anymore).
