Hi Jeannie - Will post a list of "must haves" next week.
ReplyDeleteHave had very successful visit by NZ comic artist/writer Dylan Horrocks. Check out his graphic novel "Hicksville" or his website www.hicksvillecomics.com
Here are my "must haves": Maus 1 & 2 by Art Spiegelman, Persepolis 1 & 2 by Marjane Satrapi, Asterix series, Tintin series, Usagi Yojimbo by Stan Sakai (Samurai rabbit), Simpsons, Superheroes like Batman & Spiderman, Manga including Manga Shakespeare, classic novels like Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde and the hobbit, Greek Myths and graphic novels relating to popular fiction titles.
ReplyDeleteThe list could go on and on but my message is just to build up your collection little by little with a wide variety of genres both fiction & non-fiction to appeal to a wide audience.
