Graphic Novels have gone mainstream. So says The Bookseller – and the retail figures don’t lie… It hasn’t escaped the attention of the meeja either. To name and shame just two: The Guardian featured two pieces on the genre last week while the Times UK has John Higgins and Charlie Adlard splashed across their books pages online.

So I thought I’d treat ye to a few quick links of interest… at least I thought so.

Tor.com has launched a new comic series by Kurt Huggins and Zelda Devon – the powerhouse that brought you The Dreaded Question.

The Book Smugglers have an incredible review of Shannon, Dean and Nathan Hale’s Rapunzel’s Revenge:

This is a book I will give to my ten year old sister to read because of its imagination, it’s beautiful illustrations, writing, and above all because of its model, empowering heroine. Absolutely recommended… ….I had a LOT of fun reading this, for all the right reasons: writing, illustrations, plot and characters. MORE, please.

Elsewhere – John Maberry has an interview on Marvel.com about his upcoming series featuring a zombie Wolverine.

And if you haven’t picked them up yet – the new Walker Books Graphic Novels and manga titles are great! Go now!
