We celebrate Comic Book Month all throughout September at Auckland Libraries. We give you Top 5s, write-ups, an interview with the award-winning Sheehan Bros, and introduce you to our graphic novel and zine collections.
Competition
Enter the 'Create a Character' competition! Closing date is 7 October, 2011.
Graphic novel collection
Auckland Libraries’ collection of nearly 12,000 graphic novels for adults, teens and children come in over 15 languages. You can further refine your search from over 130 genres including science fiction, fantasy, superhero, romance, dystopias, ghost stories and much more.
>> Check out our manga.
New zine collection
The zine collection launched recently following a generous donation of around 600 titles from Cross St Zine Library. The zines – which come in all shapes and sizes, on an infinite number of topics and themes – are available to enjoy at Central City Library on the ground floor by the graphic novel collection.
