Nonfiction Graphic Novels

Fox News reports that Holtzbrinck Publishers has begun dabbling in "graphic adaptations of nonfiction material." Their graphic novel depicting the 9/11 Report is already available (and endorsed by Stan Lee!), and graphic biographies of Malcolm X and Ronald Reagan are in the works. If you're new to the non-fiction graphic novel, be sure to check out the giants of the genre: Art Spiegelman's Maus, Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, and Joe Sacco's Safe Area Goradze. Note that in 2004 Spiegelman published an illustrated response to 9/11 called In the Shadow of No Towers.
