Graphic Novelists

3 Volume Set

"This will be a sure winner with students who may be more interested in the lives of these authors than more traditional writers whose classics they are forced to read."
-- Reference for Students, January 2007

Graphic novels -- novels merging pictures and rich language to create a unique experience of literature and art -- are enjoying a renewed popularity, especially with students and young adults. U·X·L Graphic Novelists introduces researchers to the authors and illustrators behind these works, taking care to define and explore the distinction between comic books and graphic novels. Printed in full-color and covering approximately 75 authors and illustrators in detail, this new set also includes a cumulative table of contents, words to know, timeline, list of works and a detailed cumulative general index.
