Graphic novel spotlight - Three Story Books



BirdCatDog FishFishFish and SheHeWe by Lee Nordling and Meritxell Bosch

To my way of thinking, the real pinnacle of quality graphic novels is a strong wordless book. Any graphic novel that can tell a complex story without any text is worthy of our attention. These three books are built on the same idea: they tell a story, simultaneously, from 3 perspectives. We see through those perspectives how every story has multiple elements, how events seen only in one thread affect the events in the other two. Personally, SheHeWe is my favorite but all three have their merits.
