Can you believe it’s been TEN years since First Second Books began publishing high-quality graphic novels for kids, teens, and adults? It’s incredible but true. And at Finding Wonderland we’re proud to have done our part in supporting their efforts over the years. Now, they’re at 157 books and counting, and we are thrilled to take part in their 10-year anniversary celebration.
This month is THE month, and so we’re posting a special infographic provided straight from the publisher: a fantastic February reading list that focuses on great YA graphic novels–many of which have been reviewed right here. Below the infographic you’ll find links to the reviews on our site. And, lastly, stay tuned for a special graphic novelist INTERVIEW (never say First Second didn’t hook us up!) and more fun posts celebrating comics throughout their anniversary year. Congratulations to an imprint that has made it abundantly clear graphic novels can be great art and great literature!
