Try our exciting new mental health-themed comic & graphic novel collection



We’ve introduced a selection of comic books and graphic novels themed around mental health – you can find them on the new books shelf in the library. They’re part of our Evening Library Assistant’s dissertation project and he’s looking for volunteers to interview about whether or not graphic novels have a place in training. Email Anthony.Farthing.1@city.ac.uk if you’re interested in taking part.

To see the full collection, just search ‘comics’ in the catalogue or see below for a listing:
