With Graphic Novels Core Collection, there is
finally a standard tool that can be used to help
guide professionals to select the best graphic
novels for their students, and to begin building
collections to meet the needs of those students
who knew long before we did that this medium was
something very special. For creativity and genius
in the production of a remarkable collection
development tool for librarians (as well as a fun
database to share with students and teachers),
Wilsons Graphic Novels Core Collection receives
an A. School Library Journal, March 8, 2008

This newest addition to the Wilson Core
Collections database group will be welcomed by
school, public, and academic librarians
attempting to build their graphic literature
holdings. Representative of the highest quality
and most popular examples of current graphic
publishing, this valuable tool will help
librarians start, develop, and maintain viable
graphic literature collections. Booklist,
