There is a new way to read comics at the Port Moody Public Library: Comics Plus! Comics Plus provides unlimited, simultaneous access to comics you can read online. This means you can read any title right away with no wait! Find out how you can sign up for an account on our Comics Plus page and enjoy comics and manga on your phone, tablet, or computer.
There are over 27,000+ titles available on Comics Plus, so we thought we would provide some staff recommendations to get you started. Here are some of Lindsay's favourite titles.
Catboy
by Benji Nate
Have you ever wished you could talk to your cat? Be careful what you wish for! After Olive wishes she could hang out with her pet cat Henry, he turns into a talking, human-sized cat—and Olive has to teach him how to act like a human. This comic is cute and silly, and features a bunch of incredible matching outfits.
Cook Like Your Ancestors: An Illustrated Guide to Intuitive Cooking With Recipes From Around the World
by Mariah-Rose Marie
This illustrated guide introduces readers to intuitive cooking, relying on one's senses rather than precise measurements and fancy equipment. It takes a mindful and accessible approach to cooking, encouraging substitutions and creativity. I loved that each recipe includes information about where the dish originates from and the cultures that enjoy it today. These extra touches, along with vidvid and colourful illustrations, make it a great guide for beginners (and for comic fans who don't like to measure ingredients).
Delicious in Dungeon
Series by Ryoko Kui
This manga series is also about cooking, but it's a little different. It's also a zany, high fantasy dungeon-crawling adventure. And it's hard to recreate the recipes because the characters are cooking monsters. This is a hilarious series that really ramps up the stakes (and the steaks) as it goes on.
Lavender Clouds: Comics About Neurodivergence and Mental Health
by Bex Ollerton
These cute, colourful comics perfectly capture some of the frustrating experiences that can come along with neurodivergence and mental health issues. Some are funny, some are painful, and many are uplifting as the author works towards self-acceptance. In a world that isn't always built to accommodate difference, many readers will find these comics relatable and validating.
Stone Fruit
by Lee Lai
This graphic novel is a quiet, intimate look at queer relationships, family dynamics, and mental health. I love the illustration style, which makes the characters look wild and monster-like when they are having fun. The story is bittersweet, balancing heartbreak with childlike joy.
