I am late to the table on this one, but just discovered (thanks to the link at Book Hunters Holiday) this fabulous graphic novel, “The Night Bookmobile” by Audrey Niffenegger (author of The Time Traveler’s Wife). Started in May 2008 and posted on The Guardian.co.uk, the weekly serial is based on the author’s short story of the same title. Here is the first installment (to read all, go to the link above and then scroll down through the 25 posts to get to the beginning). For all my fellow librarians out there, this is a very welcome and lovely visual treat!
