Graphic novels are an area of collections that has been growing in both size and importance in academic libraries over the past decade. Through their innovative blending of art and text, graphic novels and comics push at the boundaries of both these mediums, creating new media forms that are critical and engaging.
X̱wi7x̱wa has a robust collection of graphic novels and comic books, which are written by, for, and about Indigenous people. Ranging from single issue comics to whole multi-book series, the graphic novel collection is as diverse in stories and voices as the rest of the library’s collection. It includes works of fiction, non-fiction, biography, comic strips, and comic books that combine text and artwork to tell their stories.
