Comics Suitable for a Public Library

[Sheeplovr]

As started in the other thread

What Graphic Novels and Comics should be in Public Libraries?

[Tall_James]

My library has a great selection of TPBs. "Marvels" and a lot of the Marvel "Ultimate" TPBs.

I think any library should be forced to carry "Watchmen", "The Dark Knight" and "Maus".

[EliSnow]

My thoughts (in addition to those already mentioned):

Sandman
Batman Year One
Some Marvel and DC classic runs (the complete Stan Lee/Steve Ditko Spider-man run, the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby run, the Chris Claremont/John Byrne run of X-Men, Frank Miller's run on Daredevil, Morrison's run on JLA)
The first few volumes of Ultimate Spider-man
Kingdom Come
Ultimates v. 1 and 2
Golden Age
Starman
Hellboy: Wake The Devil, Right Hand of Doom, Conqueror Worm
Camelot 3000

There's a reason they're collapsing the Ultimate universe...

My picks from the other thread:
Ex Machina
Y: The Last Man
V for Vendetta
Preacher

(I would have said Sandman, but multiple people said it before me)

I work in a public library. They off almost all trade paper backs..except for adult line. Which they will add in the future.

Anything that is out should be in a public library.

What the fuck is a library?
Is it that big building that the homeless people go to and bathe in the bathroom sink?

[TheMojoPin]

Some school libraries have Maus and use it for teaching the holocaust. I'm planning on starting a comic book club this year, mainly looking for books that will be appropriate for middle-schoolers, i.e. no huge tits and tons of blood. If I was doing high school I might consider doing a unit on Civil War.

The you need to add Scott Pilgrim to your list. I love, love, love that book.

Add that title only if you wish to turn your students gay and terrible.

Gay? You, sir, only wish to aspire to be Scott's roommate Wallace.

I don't know what that means, but I'm sure it's shittily written, drawn and overhyped.
