2009 Best Graphic Novels for Teens: What’s in it for women?

The American Library Association (ALA) has released its 2009 Great Graphic Novels for Teens list and, although manga dominates, the 53 titles represent a nice sample of styles and genres. No lesbian characters that I know of, but at least we see some strong female leads. Although I’m not familiar with all of the books, here are a few I’m glad to see.

Before most of us had ever heard of Edward and Bella, vampire Dave Miller demonstrated how a normal dead guy with a job at a convenience store could win the love of a beautiful Goth mortal named Rosa. I have been a Jessica Abel fan since she had to print Artbabe herself and am always happy when her talent is recognized. (If you haven’t read La Perdida, get thee to the comic store.)
