Graphic novels, with their unique mixing of visual storytelling and written narrative have proven a particularly rich medium for stories that tackle deeply personal and often very difficult subjects.<\/p>\n<p>Many of our talented Pow Pow authors have directly addressed mental health in their graphic novels, examining trauma, shame, depression, grief, and fear in powerful narratives that don\u2019t always have all the answers, but can help us understand, empathize, and even heal a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>Below we&#8217;ve collected a few recommend reads here to encourage engagement with mental health issues. These graphic narratives are \u00a0particularly moving and sensitive reads and we think they\u2019d make great additions to any bookshelf.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
