Comics That Are Perfect Gateways for Non-Superhero Readers

versedbversedbStaff

Great starting points for readers who want to explore comics beyond capes and tights. These series prove that comics are a medium, not a genre, spanning crime, horror, sci-fi, drama, and everything in between.

Deeply personal, emotionally raw series based entirely on the creators own lives and traumas. Maus, Persepolis, Fun Home, and the best memoirs in comics form.
