As someone who has only recently begun enjoying the graphic novel section of my local library, I have been really impressed with the fantastic Canadian content that I have been able to find. We have many awesome graphic novelists here in Canada. I have compiled a small selection of titles to hopefully give readers a taste of the diverse range of work being published by Canadian authors. Personally, I find graphic novels to be a fun, visual way to explore Canadian settings or topics.

The Outside Circle by Patti LaBoucane-Benson with art by Kelly Mellings is a graphic novel with an incredible amount of depth. Centred around a troubled Aboriginal man, the story follows him as he goes through a specialized rehabilitation program. The author draws on 20 years of work and research on the healing and reconciliation of gang-affiliated or incarcerated Aboriginal men. The result is a touching story told alongside fantastic artwork that offers insight into the continued impact of residential schools and traditional Aboriginal healing circles and ceremonies.
