Books To Read: Best Graphic Novels - January 2015
Posted: November 2, 2014
Here’s my first A-to-Z shortlist of 2015, giving you my monthly PG Tips for the most interesting, intriguing releases for January or thereabouts. It’s another wide-ranging selection box, taking you inside worlds and lives, from real to unreal and surreal, which you might never experience - from a problem inner-city American high-school to an outlaw motorcycle club, from the roots of The Great War a century ago to the 1963 civil rights march on Washington. Forced to choose, my personal pick of the bunch this time is Wrinkles, Knockabout’s translation of the Spanish creator Paco Roca’s pointed portrayal of a new arrival at a Spanish care home for Alzheimer’s patients. Another key work in the expanding filed of graphic medicine, Wrinkles helped stimulate social debate about mental health and healthcare in Spain and was adapted into an animated movie. Happy exploring and discovering comics, graphic novels and manga! Read about my recommendation here…
