Think about it. Comics and graphic novels have their own language and it can take a while to learn. Therefore the best recommendations are graphic novels that work hard to make the layout understandable, especially to new readers. Below are some great comics and graphic novels for beginners separated into three genres. This list is small but has a range that’s wide enough to attract even the most skeptical of the genre. While the list only includes two “traditional” superhero stories, each listed is both engaging and laid out simply.
