Absolutely - I don’t know why publishers aren’t looking at those frankly insane old sales figures for Garfield, Calvin & Hobbes, Peanuts, etc. collections and now BvS/Heartstopper & connecting the dots about periodical comics.

It’s definitely a big hit with some of my less enthused or engaged readers because they can re read it and have great fun with it again, which in turn builds a real sense of accomplishment for them.

Apart from Bunny vs Monkey, these are my top loaned series. They're all comics/graphic novels. Children can't get enough of them. They look completely different to the books/texts they are given for reading comprehension. They make them laugh/cry, they're fun. Quite frankly we need many, many more!

It’s one of the only/easiest ways to make them cost 💀
But also the volume of investment and expertise in graphic novels in the US publishing scene vs the UK is an issue. How many children’s editors here know and love and *understand* both the appeal of the format and the narrative mechanics of it?
