Suitable for newbies and hardcore fans alike, this book

offers ideas for media tie-ins, displays, programming, book clubs, and more;
includes annotated bibliographies, with appeal characteristics noted, and multiple indexes to ensure that locating the right graphic novel is a snap;
and provides detailed tips for keeping current and aware of new titles and trends
