Douglas Wolk Highlights Select Graphic Novels from 2009 for the New York Times

3

SpecialForcesTPBcoverOver on the New York Times website, Douglas Wolk (author of Reading Comics: How Graphic Novels Work and What They Mean) has written an article highlighting “some books I liked a lot that the Times hasn’t covered yet this year.”

Topping the list is Kyle Baker’s Special Forces, with notable appearances from Gabrielle Bell’s Cecil and Jordan in New York: Stories, Lilli Carré’s Nine Ways to Disappear , Seth’s George Sprott, The Toon Treasury of Classic Children’s Comics, Michael Kupper­man’s Tales Designed to Thrizzle: Volume One, and Andrei Molotiu’s Abstract Comics.

It’s a really fascinating article, highlighting some great books from the last year that did not receive as much exposure as they deserved. Head here to read it!

    Glad you liked it! I should note, though, that that’s not my list of my favorite books of the year–just “some books I liked a lot that the Times hasn’t covered yet this year.” The ones I’m particularly waving the flag for are more like the list at http://bnreview.barnesandnoble.com/t5/Personal-Picks-Best-of-2009/The-Best-Graphic-Novels-of-2009/ba-p/1849 …

    Hi, thanks for commenting!

    I must apologize, I complete misread that as being your Top Picks. The NYT website just titled it ‘comics’, and it being year end right now, I just assumed. I did wonder why Asterios Poly wasn’t in the list, as that seems to be a very popular choice this year.

    I have amended the titles and content of this article, and will do another post linking to your B&N list, shortly.

    Thanks again for letting me know.

    [...] Earlier this week I linked over to an article written by Douglas Wolk for the New York Times Magazine, which I thought was a list of his favourite GNs of 2009. However, Douglas just contacted me to inform me that the list was not his list of top picks from 2009, but actually a list of “some books I liked a lot that the Times hasn’t covered yet this year.” [...]
