Collection: Comics & Graphic Novels

Spinning off HarperCollins's beloved I Can Read series, I Can Read Comics is an early reader line that familiarizes children with the world of graphic novel storytelling and encourages visual literacy in emerging readers.

It's hard to see in the dark...unless you're Firefly! Will Firefly be able to show their friends the beautiful moonflower, or will sleep win the night?

Firefly Night also has a "Cartooning Basics" page at the front of the book and a "Nature Guide" page at the back, making it the whole package for emerging readers--and a great example of what I Can Read Comics is all about!

Tiny Tales: Firefly Night is a Level Three I Can Read Comic, meaning it's a more complex story for independent readers.

An ensemble of interconnected romance stories from one of the hottest creators of yaoi manga.

A collection of intertwining stories covering four not-quite lovers as they find what links them together.

Akiha plays the piano and ponders his relationship with Yahiko, a friend with benefits he can't quite bring himself to call his lover regardless of how freely Yahiko cares for him.

Despite their constant bickering, Sado and Nakajo appear close enough to be lovers. But Nakajo has convinced himself he can never have Sado, which leads him to seek out reasons to hate him even as he stays by his side.

Shibata is an overly friendly older man who rather insistently hits on Sekiya, a socially awkward radio DJ. Even with his DJ persona, Sekiya has a hard time expressing the roiling emotions within him.

A stray cat brings Kameda and Ogikawa together. The two spend lazy days eating, drinking, and playing with their cat, all without calling it love.

Childhood best friends. Two halves of a whole. Yamato and Kakeru. Yamato finally worked up the courage to confess to Kakeru, which left Kakeru with a mess of emotions to untangle in his heart. What does it actually mean to like someone? What would happen to their friendship if he said yes? The pressure is overwhelming...especially with Christmas--and Yamato's invitation to spend it with him--just around the corner. Can Kakeru come to terms with his feelings before their holiday date?

First things first.........Visitors are supposed to come in through the front door!!
For a certain reason, a handsome, young calligrapher by the name of Seishuu Handa uproots himself and moves to an island on the westernmost edge of Japan. "Sensei," as he comes to be known, is a city boy through and through, and has never experienced rural life until now. And by the looks of it, he has much to learn! Luckily(?), he has a willing teacher in Naru, the energetic expert islander, to help show him the ropes. But can Sensei keep up with the plucky first-grader, or will he get schooled?! Here unfolds a heartfelt island comedy about a gruff on the outside, soft on the inside urbanite teacher and his new, unfailingly kind island neighbors!

Kikuzato is sprinting toward his new goal of becoming a more powerful runner, but each stride takes him further from his soccer days--and the friends who once played alongside him. Kikuzato's wasn't the only life affected by his accident, and ever since that day, Takekawa has watched his best friend on and off the field steadily slip away. Can these former teammates repair the rift between them, even as world events throw all their high school hopes and dreams into disarray?

Presented in the manhwa (South Korean comic) format, Limitless follows NCT 127 in the midst of their world tour, as the group rehearses for its biggest performance in America to date: a sold-out stadium show in New York City. The night before the concert, however, the group encounters mysterious dreams, putting MARK, JOHNNY, TAEYONG, JUNGWOO, and DOYOUNG in otherworldly scenarios. This ultimately creates a reality-crossing mystery that the five--alongside TAEIL, YUTA, JAEHYUN, and HAECHAN--will unite to solve. As NCT 127 grapples with this enigma, they must overcome their fear in both the real world and this new, surreal dreamscape.

A classic Shakespearean tragedy, Romeo and Juliet is the tale of two star-crossed young lovers who dare to defy their feuding families, put aside all obstacles, and find happiness together - but at a tremendous cost. This grimly beautiful tale, set in Renaissance Italy, follows Romeo and Juliet from their fateful first meeting to their last. Manga Classics brings you this incredible manga version of William Shakespeare's most popular play, with FULL, ADAPTED MODERN ENGLISH text for easy reading!

"Incredibly fascinating." -- BOOKLIST Starred Review

Not all dreams come true! While history is written by the winners, the full story of humanity is built on the moments when things went completely sideways; the spectacular screw-ups, monumental mistakes, and explosive errors that paved the way for the bright and shiny achievements we normally celebrate. Today, the losers get their due as we honor the speed bumps we had to hit on the road to progress!

In this entertaining tour of ill-fated futures, some of comics' brightest talents relate the historical failure they're most passionate about, bringing each moment to life in a hopeful and inspiring short story anthology. Some of these dreams were too big for their time, some were unfairly stopped by forces beyond their control, and some were best left on the cutting room floor, but all are windows to a world of possibility that's still -- for now -- just beyond the horizon.

Features work by RYAN NORTH, HARRY "HBOMBERGUY" BREWIS, EVAN DAHM, BLUE DELLIQUANTI, RYAN ESTRADA, and many more!

Murder is his art. Catching killers is hers.

In Gotham City, heinous acts of violence are a daily occurrence. Harley Quinn, forensic psychiatrist and profiler, consults with the GCPD on
their worst cases. But she is fixated on an unsolved murder that haunts her--the night she discovered her roommate's body marked with the
signature of a notorious serial killer known as The Joker.

Five years later, the case remains unsolved, and a new series of horrific killings has begun. As the murders escalate and the meticulously
constructed crime scenes become more elaborate, Harley's obsession with finding the depraved psychopath responsible leads her down a
dangerous path. When the past and the present finally collide, Harley has to decide how far she is willing to go--and how many lines she is
willing to cross--to solve these cases once and for all.
