Everyone loves a good mystery; the kind that hooks you and refuses to let go until the plot unravels in twisty, surprising, and satisfying ways. The best ones—from Gone Girl to Serial to Tiger King—leave us pondering them days after completion. Comics, graphic novels, and manga deliver mind-bending mysteries, too, with the added bonus of beautiful, immersive visual storytelling. If a picture is worth a thousand words, the comics medium might be the best way to dive into a good mystery.
Whether you have an elaborate makerspace or a single Chromebook, collaboration and artistic expression are amazing ways to explore key concepts beyond traditional educational media. When combined with a visual medium that readers already love, like comics, there is no limit to how much enrichment can come from a craft activity, art project, or science experiment. Our Get Inspired, Get Creative! list of recommended titles will help spark creativity and imaginative learning, whether you are working in-person or in virtual environments.
Mining backlist titles for popular creators is like digging for hidden treasure, and surfacing lesser-known creators alongside them is the heart of Readers’ Advisory. Our Creator Spotlight: Classic Backlist & New-to-You Comics list does both, offering a curated combination of popular creators and up-and-comers—all available for unlimited simultaneous access via schools and libraries through Comics Plus.
Graphic Medicine encompasses a broad range of titles and health issues and has become a common way to help young people understand and share how they’re feeling, both mentally and physically. It can also help offset the stigma around concepts like anxiety, depression, and the physical issues created by mental stress. Comics Plus’ collection of Graphic Medicine titles can help students of all ages better articulate their own physical and mental health, and foster empathy for others facing difficult circumstances.
We curate high-interest, immersive digital content that helps schools and libraries expand and diversify their collections—without breaking their materials budgets.
Give your readers unlimited, simultaneous access to a diverse collection of digital comics, graphic novels, and manga from dozens of library-friendly publishers.
