The Graphic Novel: a Sloane Art Library brief guideSelected Surveys Reference Books Online Indexes and Databases Web Pages Local Collections Graphic novels, comic books and books
about those two related genres are located throughout the libraries
(Art Library, Undergraduate Library, Davis Library, Information and
Library Science Library, and Rare Books in Wilson Library.) You may
need to go to all these libraries to find what you need. Graphic
Novel is a subject heading, so you can use that in the online
catalog when searching. This is a large and growing area of the
collections at UNC. Comic Books is another heading. You can also
search by a book's author, e.g. Satrapi Marjane. The following books
may be helpful. Look them up in the online catalog to find the call
number. The Art Library collects graphic novels if they classify as an
artists' book (a book-like object created by an artist as a work of art).
