What I usually write about\u00a0are collections and displays in the library that are permanently located within the library. The Graphic Novels Collection is a little different.\u00a0 Unlike the previous collections, this collection can be checked out by students. Many people do not know this, but the library houses a collection of graphic novels located on the first floor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My exposure to comics is limited and probably how most people became familiar with them: through screen adaptations. Comics are a rich source of content for movies and television to pull from. The number of screen adaptations graphic novels have influenced is insurmountable. As a film production major, I find this collection an incredible resource to dive into and find stories that I haven\u2019t seen on screen, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/chapcat.chapman.edu\/record=b4929485~S1\"><em>The Sandman<\/em> series<\/a>. Being a storyteller, it is great to constantly be taking in stories and graphic novels are a nice balance between books and movies!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I find it compelling to see how many comic books have been translated into movies and television. Did you know the musical <em>Annie<\/em> was based on a comic called &#8220;Little Orphan Annie&#8221;? Or that the TV show <em>Sabrina the Teenage Witch<\/em> was a comic book before it became a show? The medium is a unique mix of visual as well as literary entertainment. Unlike regular novels, graphic novels lend a hand in establishing the visuals of the piece. Some of the highest-grossing movies of all time are adaptations of comic book movies. Out of the top ten biggest box offices, four are adaptations of comic books. <em>Avengers: Endgame<\/em> is the highest-grossing movie of all time and the story&#8217;s origins come from the comics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As well as big-screen success, television also has its share of comic book adaptations. One of these comics that have recently transitioned to television is a show called <a href=\"https:\/\/chapcat.chapman.edu\/record=b10587698~S1\"><em>Stumptown<\/em><\/a>. The show and comics center around a sharp-witted military veteran, Dex Parios, who struggles to take care of herself and her younger brother. She becomes a private investigator and solves problems when the police cannot. If you\u2019re like me, whenever you hear &#8220;comic book,&#8221; you immediately picture superheroes in spandex and capes, but that\u2019s only a fraction of the stories in graphic novels. As I was skimming through our graphic novel collection, many of them are stories other than superhero stories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our newest addition to the graphic novel collection is the entire anthology of the <em>Stumptown<\/em> graphic novels. If you are curious about how the creators were able to adapt a graphic novel into a series, check out the graphic novels of <em>Stumptown<\/em> as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt10313066\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0\">the show on ABC<\/a>! You will be able to witness, firsthand, how graphic novels have worked their way into all facets of entertainment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Located in the back of the first floor, the graphic novel collection rests under a giant painting of a graphic novel character named Fatima. Who is Fatima you might ask? In 2014, Dr. Shams al-Din Tantawy, an architect and graphic designer, visited Chapman\u2019s campus to teach a master class in graphic novels. From his workshop, a graphic novel entitled <em>Fatima<\/em> was produced. He donated the large portrait of her and now it hangs proudly above the other graphic novels. The graphic novel collection in the library is a great resource for those who want to explore a medium of entertainment other than film and television.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5002\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5002\" style=\"width: 516px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2019\/11\/IMG_4124.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5002\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2019\/11\/IMG_4124.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"516\" height=\"689\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5002\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The graphic novels collection located on the first floor of the Leatherby Libraries.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 This week&#8217;s blog post is a little different than what I\u2019ve usually been posting.
