    The Journal of Research on Libraries and Young Adults Volume 6: August 2015 www.yalsa.ala.org/jrlya Adolescent Females and the Graphic Novel: A Content Analysis Emily Simmons, ELA Teacher, Hernando Middle School Abstract Numerous studies of adolescent reading preferences have found that fewer females than males are drawn to reading graphic novels. Why? Adolescent readers are diverse in gender and race/ethnicity as well as the disabilities they represent. Do main characters in graphic novels reflect that diversity? Has representation changed over time? Using a content analysis approach, this study examined the main characters in a set of recommended popular graphic novels for teens to determine the percentage of female protagonists and how that percentage has changed over a seven-year period. Additionally, the race/ethnicity and any disabilities of the female main characters were analyzed. The 70 recommended graphic novels and illustrated nonfiction for teens ages 12 to 18 used for the study were found on YALSA’s “Top Ten Great Graphic Novels for Teens” lists from 2007 through 2013. Female main characters were found in 46% of the titles, with 24% of these titles having only female main characters while 22% had both female and male main characters; the female main characters represented three of five race categories identified by the U.S. Census Bureau and four of the fourteen disability classifications identified by IDEA. Introduction Enticing adolescents to read has been and remains today a core objective for librarians, educators, and parents. At any age, reading preferences reflect reading interests; therefore, it is essential for libraries and schools to provide a varied collection of books to meet a myriad of interests.

  • Online Graphic Novels: a Case Study on Faith Erin Hicks
    12 | Online Graphic Novels: A Case Study on Faith Erin Hicks Brittany Melia, School of Information Studies The following case study focuses on Faith Erin Hicks, a Canadian graphic novelist, who began her career by self-publishing webcomics. Eventually, she was able to branch into commercial publishing, and make a living as a graphic novelist. I will examine how cultivating a passionate fanbase through self-publishing graphic novels online can help support a creator’s transition to traditional publishing for profit. Furthermore, this case study also demonstrates how respecting and remaining connected to one’s online community can be incorporated into commercial publishing, creating a balancing act between the two worlds of creation. Overall, the pros and cons of self-publishing or traditionally publishing graphic novels will be investigated through the lens of one woman’s experience. Keywords: self-publishing online, graphic novels, faith erin hicks, commercial publishing, fanbase Introduction Self-publishing online has become one of the most barrier-free ways to make one’s work widely available. Creators of comics and graphic novels, in particular, are finding a niche in which to garner a greater international fanbase for their work where a traditional publisher could not do the same. Graphic novelists have used their online popularity to transition to the commercial publishing sphere. This phenomenon of online communities for authors and readers to share and develop their work is at the root of successful self-publishing online. This chapter will focus on Faith Erin Hicks, a Canadian graphic novelist and cartoonist who currently lives in Vancouver (Hicks, “About Faith,” n.d).
