I don’t know about you, but when the weather starts to change, I immediately want to wear oversized sweaters, drink lots of hot chocolate, and bury myself in feel-good books. In years past, I have been more of a traditional book reader, but this year I have read more comic books and graphic novels than in the past fifteen years combined.

That said, here are 6 graphic novels and comic book series I recommend as we head into cozy fall weather. So grab a blanket and your favorite hot beverage, snuggle up in your favorite reading nook, and enjoy something new.

1. “Pumpkinheads” by Rainbow Rowell and Faith Erin Hicks

- Set in a pumpkin patch, this graphic novel revolves around two friends, Deja and Josiah, who are determined to make their last shift before college memorable. It’s the perfect autumnal read! 

2. “The Prince and the Dressmaker” by Jen Wang

- This graphic novel tells the story of Prince Sebastian and his secret life as Lady Crystallia with the help of his dressmaker friend Frances. It’s a heartwarming tale of identity, friendship, and acceptance.

3. “Soppy” by Phillippa Rice

- A delightful collection of comics based on real-life moments from the author’s life with her boyfriend. It explores the tiny, everyday romantic moments that make relationships special.

4. “Mouse Guard” by David Petersen

- Set in a medieval world, this series follows mice who have formed the Mouse Guard, protecting their realm. The art captures the rustic fall essence, making it perfect for the season.

5. “The Tea Dragon Society” by Katie O’Neill

- This charming graphic novel introduces readers to the world of Tea Dragons, small creatures that grow tea leaves from their bodies. It’s a tale of friendship, tradition, and the art of patience.

6. “Giant Days” by John Allison, Lissa Treiman, and Max Sarin

- Follow the lives of three friends in their first years of university. It’s a light-hearted series filled with humor, friendship, and the little, everyday adventures of growing up.
