One spring morning, Ben Hatke walked out his door and headed east, carrying a sketchbook and the audacious trust that if he journeyed long enough, the curve of the earth would bring him home again. What he met was a world more perilous and more generous than he ever imagined. In Home/World , the Eisner Award-winning creator chronicles this circumnavigation through ink-and-watercolor pages that capture not just the sweep of continents but flickers of human encounters: a shared meal in a village, a moment of terror at a border crossing, the language of laughter breaking through babel. Hatke's storytelling transforms the travel narrative into something urgent and immediate-a reckoning with our fractured yet resilient planet. In an age when the world feels boundless and claustrophobic, Home/World offers not an escape, but a return. A return to wonder, to hope, to the possibility that strangers may prove kinder than we think, and to the belief that art may yet hold humanity together.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1582771</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1582771</guid><category><![CDATA[GRAPHIC_NOVEL]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hatke, Ben]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1582771086</comments><format>GRAPHIC_NOVEL</format><subtitle>A Circumnavigation of Our Shared Earth</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250370181/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Legends & Lattes]]></title><description><![CDATA["After a lifetime of bounties and bloodshed, Viv is hanging up her sword.

When celebrated New Yorker cartoonists Roz Chast and Jason Adam Katzenstein confessed to each other that their kitchens were far from Martha Stewart perfect, they knew they couldn't be the only ones cracking under the pressure of their pressure cookers. In The Two Saddest Kitchens , Roz and Jason combine their hilarious cartoon sensibilities to take (chicken) stock of everything from tragic pantries to the secret double life of Mr. Clean.

But everything shifts when Kevin realizes he may have unknowingly copied the character from an image he once saw in Japan. Determined to find the truth, Kevin returns to a devastated, postwar Japan. What he uncovers goes far beyond questions of inspiration or theft. The image of the bat is ancient, surfacing again and again across history, tied to moments of upheaval, power, and violence.

Marshall Walter "Major" Taylor was one of the greatest American athletes of the early 20th century, setting records in regional bike races as a teen and winning his first world championship by the age of twenty. But Taylor was born in 1878 in Indianapolis and came of age during the height of the Jim Crow era, facing racism at every turn.  Cartoonist Frederick Noland is a cyclist himself and in this epic 400 page graphic biography of America's first Black world champion, he thrills in the records Taylor broke and the adoring public he found across North America, Europe, and Australia, all the while showing how the invention of the bicycle changed society. Yet Noland also documents how racism inflected Black life in the post Civil War era: cyclists would collude to injure Taylor, and he faced segregationist policies even in liberal cities such as San Francisco. And while Taylor found respite racing overseas, he soon found American-style racism exported internationally to sell tickets. Noland pens a gorgeous, humane, graphic paean to Major Taylor, illustrating how the fastest man in America also had a deep well of integrity and fortitude not just to succeed, but to overcome the racist abuse he faced from fellow athletes and society at large. Major Taylor is a loving tribute to an exceptional American."-- Publisher.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1582204</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1582204</guid><category><![CDATA[GRAPHIC_NOVEL]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Noland, Fred]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1582204086</comments><format>GRAPHIC_NOVEL</format><subtitle>The World&apos;s Fastest Man</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781770464933/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[On Their Frontlines]]></title><description><![CDATA["A story of resilience, identity, & queer yearning set amidst the devastation of postwar Japan.

South Korea, 1929. Arisa Jo, the daughter of a wealthy merchant, is the most eligible bachelorette in all of Gyeongsung (the capital city). With her Western dresses, movie star hairstyle, and assertive attitude, she embodies bold "Modern" values. Meet her opposite, Jun Seomoon, a young man from the countryside deeply rooted in tradition. When Jun is charged by Arisa's father to be her escort in the big city, these opposing forces create sparks. Through this unlikely connection, these teenagers open their eyes to new perspectives amidst the rapidly changing world they find themselves in. Coming off the heels of her acclaimed Raging Clouds, Lovers of the Empire proves Yudori to be a comic artist at the height of her creative powers.

In this vivid adaptation by Susanne Kuhlendahl, Woolf's fantastical biography comes to life anew: the tale of a passionate young nobleman who defies time and convention. Orlando begins his journey in the Elizabethan court and lives for over three centuries--transitioning along the way from a man into a woman, and from a restless youth into a self-assured figure of modernity. As eras shift and empires rise and fall, Orlando remains, navigating identity, desire, and the elusive nature of love."--Amazon.com.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1579909</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1579909</guid><category><![CDATA[GRAPHIC_NOVEL]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kuhlendahl, Susanne]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1579909086</comments><format>GRAPHIC_NOVEL</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9783039641062/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nightingales]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Nightingales is an unforgettable portrait of an imperfect family grappling with extraordinary circumstances, and a powerful example of how confronting the unknown with curiosity and compassion is the first step to building a better world.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1576640</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1576640</guid><category><![CDATA[GRAPHIC_NOVEL]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Wilson, Emil]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1576640086</comments><format>GRAPHIC_NOVEL</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668217771/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nana]]></title><description><![CDATA[With her own life falling apart around her, Nana K. seizes onto a juicy piece of gossip about Nana O.'s past love life to keep her mind off her own problems.
