Graphic Novels, Comic Books Are Growing In Popularity

Graphic novel sales boomed last year, with some saying the pandemic led readers to the genre.

As comic book movies made their way back onto the big screen last year, comic books themselves also saw a huge growth.

Sales for adult graphic novels more than doubled in 2021, and one publisher said it was their biggest year ever.

"While television productions kind of shut down, the rise in reading and books and comics actually increased," said Jessica Tsaeng, international comic book historian.
