Graphic Novelists contains biographical profiles of 75 notable
people involved in the creation of graphic novels, a diverse and
rapidly changing field. They represent the diversity of style,
content, and intended audience of one of the most popular
literary forms of the early twenty-first century. The novelists—
who wrote for a variety of different ages, from pre-teen to
adults—and their works represent three broad categories: superhero
or action-oriented works; manga; and ‘‘independent’’ work,
a broad category of graphic novels that simply fit nowhere else,
and includes fiction, nonfiction, comedy, drama, romance, and
others.
