Do you consider yourself a literary reader? Do you have sophisticated taste when it comes to what you'll read? Do you think of comic books as silly cartoons for weird teenage boys?
Well, Missoula Public Library would like to prove you wrong!
During the month of December, MPL is hosting a Graphic Novels for Adults display. This showcases literary graphic novels such as Maus by Art Spiegleman, a story of a Jewish survivor of Hitler's Europe, and Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, her autobiography of living in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. These novels, as well as the others showcased, are sure to change your opinion of the merit of graphic novels.
And on December 12 at 7pm in the Large Meeting Room, our Young Adult Librarian will present a program to introduce graphic novels to the over 20 crowd, who may not be aware of the wealth of information, entertainment, and literary genius to be found in the graphic novel form. Also, the folks from Muse Comics will present some of the latest and greatest items to come their way and to introduce you the the merit of the genre as a whole.

Have you got a copy of any of the "Flight" anthologies? They're great collections of shorts from various artists. The stories vary greatly in seriousness and art style, but they are all beautiful.
Curious,
