Modan, Rutu TV producer Mica Segal accompanies her grandmother, Regina, on the old lady's first return to Warsaw since she fled to Palestine in 1939, pregnant by a gentile. Reminiscent of Herge's Tintin and up to the most complimentary comparison with it. Source: Booklist, April 15, 2013 |

Byrne, Eugene It's notable that Smithsonian Books, a publisher of long-form nonfiction, should make its first foray into graphic novels with this take on Charles Darwin. The humor and slightly exaggerated realism of the art humanize the great figure. Source: Booklist, March 01, 2013 |

Pomplun, Tom (ed.) The latest edition of the Graphic Classics series focuses on Native American stories and poems, mostly from the late 19th century to the early 20th century.
