Young Adult Graphic Literature
As with fiction and memoirs, some of the most amazing, innovative, and progressive literature these days is in the Young Adult category. This spirit and energy are likewise in YA Graphic Lit. I sometimes think of this as Beyond Comics. Perhaps it is a return to what Winsor McCay tried to teach us in Little Nemo a hundred years ago (launched 1905, ended 1927): tell a story a different way, take advantage of the visual medium, use the freedom to borrow from all categories and styles. Enjoy!

Captain Underpants and the Preposterous Plight of the Purple Potty People
Have George and Harold completely lost their minds?
Potty has landed them in a crazy place where the teachers are always nice, the cafeteria serves delicious food, and the school principal, Mr. Krupp, actually thinks they're funny. Something is very, very wrong—and it gets even WRONGER when the boys' pet pterodactyl, Crackers, and Sulu the Bionic Hamster are kidnapped by George and Harold's evil-twin look-alikes. Now George and Harold must face their cleverest enemies yet: THEMSELVES! Could this be another job for the amazing Captain Underpants?
