Fantagraphics

FG's view on Comics as a medium:

What's special about how they treat the creators of their work?


Titles: 
  • A Cosplayer's Christmas
  • Hip Hop Family Tree
  • Outer Limits
  • Castle Waiting
  • Tales Designed to Thrizzle
  • Beasts
  • House
  • Fletcher Hanks
  • Bottomless Belly button
  • Johnny Ryan
  • Unlovable
  • Love and Rockets
  • Popeye
  • Prince Valiant
  • The Complete Crumb
  • Fletcher Hanks
All of these are graphic novels/comics. The difference between a graphic novel and a comic book is that comic books are periodical whereas a graphic novel is read more like a book, from beginning to end.
