Graphic Novel Recommendations
When I reached out to my friends for graphic novel recommendations, they came up with this fabulous list.
My first experience with Graphic Novel was “Palestine” by Joe Sacco. Thrilled reading the book, I thought of asking my friends about their recommendations on my next read. They came up with a rich list. Keeping this here for future reference of mine (and in case it comes handy to you too).
This is ordered on author name and title and unfiltered. Feel free to share your inputs in the comments.
