Have you ever thought about reading comic books but were unsure where to begin? Is the deep dive into the world of Superheroes daunting & confusing? Would you rather face off with Villains instead of deciding where to begin your comic-reading journey? Well, allow me to be your guide to help you ease into the ever-changing, action-packed, spandex-wearing world of Comic Books! Every comic in the list can be read without any prior knowledge of the characters or their worlds.

All fiction books that appear in the Tiny Bookshop catalogue! Would sort them by genre as I read along.

Time Magazine’s All-Time Best 100 English Language Novels from 1923 to 2005 as published in 2005.

Notable comics, graphic novels and mangas to get into the genre. This format of books is so underrated, so I wanted to create a diverse list of notable works across the history of 'comics'! I tried to highlight nonfiction and fiction works that are recognizable to the widest variety of people (mostly because of their adaptation), while also adding less widely known books.

No specific theme here I've just found books over time. All books are under 300 pages and I hope you find something you enjoy!

I know there are some comic book lists out there, but I was thinking about making a list of comic book series I think people should not miss (or books I would put in a Starte Pack type quest). I am excluding graphic novels and focusing on multiple-volume comics. I am only adding the first volume of each.

all books that have been adapted to another medium. mostly film and TV but other adaptations might get mixed in.

This is the list from The Atlantic. "In 1868, a little-known writer by the name of John William DeForest proposed a new type of literature, a collective artistic project for a nation just emerging from an existential conflict: a work of fiction that accomplished “the task of painting the American soul.” It would be called the Great American Novel, and no one had written it yet, DeForest admitted. Maybe soon."
