5 Books to Read for National Comic Book Day

by Donna Huber

Today is National Comic Book Day. I'm not a big comic book fan, but I grew up reading the Sunday Funny Pages. It was almost as anticipatory as Saturday morning cartoons. I've tried a few graphic novels, but I'm just not a visual person, so I find that I don't always know what is happening in the story without more text. (I have a similar issue with emojis) I do better with illustrated stories because there is usually more text. Are you a comic book fan? Do you have a favorite graphic novel? 

Today, I'm featuring some comics, graphic novels, and illustrated stories that I've enjoyed.
