GRAPHIC NOVELS & MANGA

Our Graphic Novel, Comic Book & Manga sections have exploded in popularity in recent years. Newly published graphic novels join a rich lineage of extraordinary visual storytelling, carved out by masterpieces like Maus and Persepolis (which remain as popular as ever before.)

Bookseller favourites include the gorgeous, gentle and evocative worlds of cousins Jillian and Mariko Tamaki; the unforgettably disturbing horrors of Charles Burns and Junji Ito; zeitgeist-defining Marvel & DC comic books such as the charming Ms. Marvel; remarkable pieces of journalistic non-fiction from Joe Sacco; and the unstoppable force that is Alice Oseman with their Heartstopper series.

The Once and Future Riot

Joe Sacco

From the ground-breaking graphics journalist and author of Palestine, a revelatory investigation of the deadly sectarian riots in 2013 Uttar Pradesh, India, and their urgent global significance today.

Sacco has chronicled the urgent histories that define the world around us, from the Great War to Gaza. Here, the award winning cartoonist turns his masterful visual reportage to a story that is specific to India but with implications and resonance for us all.
