A Guide to Comics at Wellington City Libraries
The young adult (YA) comic collection is constantly growing and changing. Once upon a time, Marvel and DC publications dominated the shelves, but in the last few years there has been a huge explosion in the YA comic publishing industry, with more and more authors finding a niche outside the mainstream.

Comic Genre Guides
We love comics and graphic novels of all stripes and all genres. Here are some lists of a few of our favourite graphical works, from the popular and well-known to the lesser-known-but-still-amazing books, brought to you from the dark depths of the library's core — indeed, from the library selectors themselves (long may they reign).
These lists are cleverly arranged by genre, so no matter your reading taste there'll be something for everyone!
