Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy : a graphic novel
\"Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy are having a really tough year: Not only is their father overseas with the military and their mother working overtime to make ends meet, but each girl is struggling with her own unique problems. Whether it's school woes, health issues, boy troubles or simply feeling lost, the March sisters all need the same thing: support from each other. By coming together -- and sharing lots of laughs and tears -- these four young women find the courage to discover who they truly are as individuals ... and as a family.\"--Jacket.
BOOK
On Comics and Grief
Fragmented and hybrid in style, On Comics and Grief examines a year in comic book publishing and the author's grief surrounding his mother's death. This book connects grief, memory, nostalgia, personal history, theory, and multiple lines of comics studies inquiry in relation to the comic books of 1976.
Structured around a year of comic books with a cover date of 1976, the year the author turned ten, the book is divided into an Introduction plus twelve sections, each a month of the publishing year. Two comic books are highlighted each month and examined through the interwoven lenses of creative nonfiction and comics studies. Through these twenty-four comics, the book addresses the major comic book publishers and virtually all genres of comics published in 1976.
By pushing the ways in which the personal is used in comics studies, combining different modes of writing, and embracing a fragmentary style, the book explores what is possible in academic writing in general and comics studies in particular. On Comics and Grief both acts as a way for the author to process his grief and uses grief as a way to think about the comics themselves through the emotions and personal connections that underlie the work we do as scholars.

Picture it: the diverse possibilities of graphic novel literature
Comics and graphic novels can be integrated with the 2011 Teen Read Week (TRW) theme of \"Picture It @ Your Library\", but the wide range of viewpoints and genres supported by the format can be harnessed for something deeper than just offering the picture-positive. In graphic literature, the \"picture\" part involves creative expression, allows narratives told from one viewpoint to be retold from another, may rely on other visual resources, and can portray parody. This article provides some examples of graphic novels, each of which encourages teens to read for the fun of it and to appreciate the visual impact of storytelling. Adapted from the source document.

The Real Cost of Prisons Comix
Last but not least, for several decades, federal and local governments have chosen to invest massively in police, prisons, and military at the cost of quality education, job training, affordable housing, child care, health care, and other \"humane social policies\" (Prashad, 2003, p.xvii; Children's Defense Fund 2007). The stories told in these comics underline the complex linkages between race, poverty, addiction, mental illness, sexual and physical childhood abuse, and over policing that have contributed to the disproportionate numbers of Black and Latina women in prison.
