Even with the rise in digital entertainment, comic books remain a childhood staple. Iurgi Urrutia, a librarian and ALIA Graphic Novels and Comics Convenor, believes graphic novels inspire in youth a lifelong love for words and art, contrary to the stigma that comics don’t count as reading.
With their assembly of stories and sketches, graphic novels teach life lessons on every page, fostering deeper levels of engagement and critical thinking than many other entertainment forms.
