Great video, Emma. I’ve never read a graphic novel, but never knew where to start. I do now and I’ll be giving one of these a try in the near future.

@sarahbee5008 4 года назад

So glad you made this video when ever I mention graphic novels people often think they are about super heroes I really enjoyed Blankets by Craig Thompson, V for Vendetta by Alan Moore and David Lloyd, Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons and Fun Home: a Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel. I would love to own or read more graphic novels than I do but I find them very expensive and unfortunately my local library doesn't have a very good selection.

@amandakate4951 4 года назад

I always Free Blankets by Craig Thompson referenced, I think he's just not an author for me, the illustrations are beautiful, the story I am less attached too. Fun Home by Alison Bechdel TOTALLY agree. Have you tried ordering books into your local library? My friend always raves about ordering books in, we're in Glasgow, so think card holders can be matched with books more easily than in more remote areas.

Persepolis is one of my favorite graphic novel. Color Trilogy - Kim Dong Hwa is highly recommended graphic novel.

@StudioLindsay 4 года назад

I didn’t know Marjane Satrapi wrote another book! I’ll have to check out Embroideries!

@BookBreak 4 года назад

It's wonderful!

@narflet 4 года назад

And also Chicken with Plums. Everything she does is wonderful. Chicken with Plums and Persepolis have both been made into films.

This was an excellent video, Emma. A lot of people think that graphic novels (or comic books in general) are not 'real books'. The books you show here prove otherwise. May I also suggest Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' "Watchmen" (I know: obvious choice) and Moore and Eddie Campbell's "From Hell". Also, Brian K. Vaughan's "Pride of Baghdad" is a beautiful, sad graphic novel based on a true story about four lions who escape a Baghdad zoo after an American bombing in 2003. By all means check these graphic novels out.

I know it's such a shame that people don't always give them the respect they deserve! Thanks for the recommendations, will definitely look these up.

@Archonsx 2 года назад

because a lot of them are not books, they’re childish and flawed, to the point of only being enjoyable to children, we need authors like george rr martin or stephen king to get into the comic book genre, then the genre will be more suitable to be considered worthy of being called “books”, comic books desperately need better writing, better characters, better world building

I read Heartstopper vol 1 last night and loved it...now need to get my hands on the other 2!

Anyone else pause toward the end to see what they have in store. I recently fell in love with graphic novels and I need more!

@vaibhawkr3904 4 года назад

I am mainly into comics and graphic novels but i do read books occasionally. There are many graphic novels that are non-superhero but are some of the must read stories. Locke & Key for example, the writer is Joe Hill

@jamiedunne2671 3 года назад

Have you checked out Neil gaiman's Sandman series ? It's owned by DC comics under its vertigo imprint but don't let that put you off ! Amazing story

@WolfPackYT Год назад

When i was a kid I remember reading a set of graphic novels called amulet! it was really fun and what got me in to reading books in general so thats also a grate starting point

@amandakate4951 4 года назад

I like Adrian Tomine, Guy Delisle (his travelogues are written from all over the world, as hs wife is a part of Doctors without Borders) and Daniel Clownes. I also liked Charles Burns - Black Hole and pretty much everything from Harvey Pekar -who wrote the American Splendor seires.

@BookBreak 4 года назад

Awesome, thanks for the recs!

@ornleifs 4 года назад

For those who have interest in philosophy I can recommend the graphic novel - "Logicomix: An Epic Search for Truth" by Apostolos Doxiadis and Christos H. Papadimitriou. Brillant book.

@manganett 4 года назад

Such a good video! I'm gonna check out Dan and Sam ❤️

@bhanusriyanamadala9554 3 года назад

@telsataylor2032 3 года назад

I have never seen the inside of a graphic novel what's the difference between a graphic novel and a comic book?, do Scotland and England uk have graphic novels or do they just call it comics here? I love physical printed books reading them, but how do I read a book with nothing but pictures in it?

@BookBreak 3 года назад

I think they can be used quite interchangeably but generally speaking a graphic novel is a little longer and contains a complete self-contained narrative, whereas a comic book is one part of a longer serialised narrative!

@kellylatham5690 4 года назад

@asifchowdhury8005 4 года назад

After reading Marjane Satrapi's books, would you make a distinguish between Islamic values and teachings compared to the politics that you see in Iran? Do you agree or disagree that a woman can be a feminist from an Islamic worldview? Also, you said the characters talked about escaping an 'arranged' married. But do you mean a forced marriage?

@BookBreak 4 года назад

Yes, as far as I remember 'arranged' is the term that they used in the book but probably more referring to forced. And absolutely you can be an Islamic feminist!!

@asifchowdhury8005 4 года назад

@@BookBreak Oh ok. Theres a lot of misconceptions and stereotypes of Islam and Muslim women, so its good to see books where Muslims regain the narratives. Yes, so we can be feminists from a Islamic worldview, so its not mutually exclusive to be a Muslim woman/man and have feminist values. :)
