They don’t get the use they could in our classrooms or even talked about too often. I’ve heard of their existence in ELT markets, but never known anyone to use these. Really, DC comics and Marvel dominate with hundreds of high-interest titles. Why not use them? Is it because they’re still not mainstream? Movies like Iron Man should help there. Is it because teachers think they’re meant for kids? Check out The Walking Dead; you’ll change your mind. Maybe it’s just because no one’s shown what they do. I can help here. So what are the benefits? Find out in this workshop.

Hi Tyson,
I know this is a bit of a belated comment, but in case you haven’t since been directed to either of these sites, check out:
http://picturebooksinelt.blogspot.pt/ which looks like it’s aimed at kids but there’s masses of stuff there for adults too.
Also try:

My favourite is “nothing is forgotten”…
All the best,
David
Awesome. Thanks, David. Have you also seen my fuller post on using graphic novels? http://fourc.ca/graphicnovels/ There are some other good links contributed in the comments section.
