Do you enjoy a good mystery? Maybe your favorite thing to read is
a biography. Do you like to go on a hero's journey sort of tale? The new
Graphic Novel collection at the Ridgefield Library has all of these genres and
more. Titles range from Roz Chast's new memoir “Can't We Talk About Something
More Pleasant?” to a new biography of Andre the Giant, to Brian Azzarello’s
“100 Bullets” a crime thriller, to many superhero tales. Graphic novels are a
format, not a genre, thus the Library has mysteries, thrillers, fantasy tales,
and non-fiction all featuring sequential art. If you are interested in learning
about the origins of “The Guardians of the Galaxy”, Ridgefield Library has a
graphic novel you can read. Do you watch “The Walking Dead”? You might want to
check out Robert Kirkman’s stunningly bleak print version of the zombie
apocalypse. Would you like to read an award-winning historical tale of the
Chinese Boxer Rebellion? Stop in for Gene Luen Yang’s “Boxers & Saints”, a
National Book Award finalist. The
Graphic Novel collection is located directly across from the Reference Desk on
the upper level of the Library; stop by and check it out.
