140 Australian Graphic Novels of 2026 (first half)
About this episode
The episode discusses notable Australian graphic novels published in the first half of 2026.
The ALIA Graphic group with the support of library staff from all over Australia, who volunteered for the judging panel, recently announced the Notable Australian Graphic Novels of 2025. Three titles for each category (Junior, Young Adult and Adult) that represent the best of the best. Being already halfway through the year, we thought it was worth looking at what’s been published in 2026 so far. Again, all these graphic novels have been created by, at least one key Australian creator (writer or artist), they’re published in a library friendly format (they’re either graphic novels or perfect bound trade paperbacks) and they are widely available through library suppliers. In this episode Iurgi, James and Marissa discuss the titles published in the first half of the year.
