What was your favorite graphic novel of 2017? Let me know on Twitter or Facebook.
The Best We Could Do by Thi Bui
Thi Bui's The Best We Could Do is a profound and beautifully illustrated memoir of the Vietnamese refugee experience.
Jillian Tamaki's Boundless includes a remarkably varied collection of stories.
Everything is Flammable by Gabrielle Bell
Bell deftly explores friendship and humanity in this poignant memoir.
Imagine Wanting Only This by Kristen Radtke
Kristen Radtke's graphic memoir Imagine Wanting Only This is one of the most moving and thoughtful comics I have read in years.
My Favorite Thing Is Monsters by Emil Ferris
Hands down the most thought-provoking and moving graphic novel I have read all year, My Favorite Thing Is Monsters is a truly remarkable book and one of the year's finest (regardless of genre).
Tillie Walden's Spinning is an elegantly told coming-of-age story that will appeal to both adults and children.
