Graphic Novel Reporter, a website for buyers and sellers of comics, has released its 2010 Core Graphic Novels List.  A guideline for retailers and librarians interested in starting a graphic novel section, or expanding the one they already have, the list offers suggestions by categorizing graphic novels in groups labeled The Core Ten, The Next 25, and The Expanded List: 100 More.  The Surrogates and The Surrogates: Flesh and Bone made the cut, both books appearing as a joint entry on The Expanded List.

I’m never sure what the value of lists like these are, or who uses them as a resource, but any day that my books are listed alongside Alec and The Complete Peanuts is a good day indeed.
