my.voyager.net

Since I am a devout lover of comics and graphic novels, I intensely searched through the recommendations of websites that this upcoming weeks readings provided for me.  I found http://my.voyager.net/~sraiteri/graphicnovels.htm to be one of my favorites.  It was created by Steve Raitieri, a librarian in Ohio.  That in itself I thought was pretty cool.  I know alot about comics already but I found Raitieri's organization of his website to be the most helpful for any curious school that wants to start their own collection of graphic novels/comics.  He goes through recommended comics from DC to Japanese Manga and summarizes what is included in these specific collections or editions.  I even caught some descriptions that included his own personal opinion on the story lines, whether they were appropriate or not.  I feel that these little summaries could really help a library expand its resources.  I look forward to adding some of his suggestions to my collection soon :)
