Abstract
Graphic novels are stand-alone stories told in comic book format. In contrast to superhero comic books, graphic novels are more serious, often nonfiction, full-length, sequential art novels that explore the issues of race, social justice, global conflict, and war with intelligence and humor. The visual component of graphic novels supports text comprehension, making the stories accessible to readers at all levels. Graphic novels are extremely popular with teenagers, and using a few selections in the social studies classroom is an enjoyable way to stimulate critical conversations about their world. The author summarizes and suggests discussion questions for nine graphic novels that richly describe political and social conflicts in Bosnia, Palestine, Iran, Sudan, and Holocaust Germany.
