Every year we see more and more graphic novels hit our shelves. And 2020 turned out to be a doozy of a year for the best.
Review of the Day – Mr. Invincible: Local Hero by Pascal Jousselin
November 12, 2020 by
Without a doubt, this is one of the most original books I’ve read for kids, teens, adults, you name it, in years. Incroyable? You don’t know the half of it.
