The 'Why' of Human Beings : Graphic StyleGraphic 'novels' often get a bad rap or are easily written off as little more than glorified pictures books. Those who read and enjoy fiction/non-fiction in graphic format -- or who have learned major life lessons from comics -- no doubt have much to say about the bad rap.
If you're so far inclined to think the graphic format is not a 'serious format', try The Stuff of Life: a Graphic Guide to Genetics and DNA by Mark Schultz; illustrated by Zander Cannon and Kevin Cannon. Listen to a January 2009 interview with the author on NPR and view the following, related video. We recommend the book to grade 10+ teen science students and science-minded adults.
