The Lighter Side of Graphic Novels
By Jez Layman, adult services librarian and creator of our #LibSocial programs for those in their 20s and 30s

This hilarious satire depicts life on Here, an island where everything is peaceful...until Dave's beard grows out of control. - The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl by Ryan North
Part girl, part squirrel, this spunky Canadian superhero tackles her first year of college and a host of bad guys with humor, superhero trading cards, and an army of squirrels. - Lumberjanes by Noelle Stevenson
Five teenage girls at a summer camp for "hardcore lady types" learn valuable skills like knot-tying, archery, and battling supernatural creatures.
