YA Romance Goes Graphic
The romance genre continues to reign supreme, with one particular format growing in popularity: graphic novelS for teens.
Jan 30, 2025
A version of this article appeared in the 02/02/2026 issue of Publishers Weekly under the headline: Going Graphic
https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/new-titles/childrens-announcements/article/99585-ya-romance-goes-graphic.htmlThe Lent Comic Art Classification System, 2nd ed. available online now for free
https://archive.org/details/lent-comic-art-classificiation-2nd-ed-final/
This classification system is derived from John A, Lent's 10-volume set of Comic Art Bibliography with additions and emendations by Mike Rhode from published versions of the Comics Research Bibliography.
"In 1986, in preparation for a conference presentation in India, I self-published a 156-page international bibliography on comic art, which I also sent to some libraries and researchers. That led to the compilation of ten volumes of comic art sources, broken down by regions, genres, functions, and other aspects, published by Greenwood Press between 1994 and 2006. As I assembled materials for these bibliographies, I developed categories into which to place sources. The classification system presented in this monograph is the result. The classification system portrayed in these pages is meant to bring some order to filing, categorizing, and discussing comics and cartoons. Actually, the fullest section, on the United States, can be used with minor modifications to organize comic art studies about any country." - John Lent
We're pleased to welcome Lizzy Walker to the team with this new edition, and expect to have annual updates.
A print-on-demand version for libraries is underway.
Mike Rhode
