Start the new year with bold art and unforgettable stories! January’s Race 200 theme is Graphic Novels, and this month you can read any graphic novel to earn extra points toward completing the dinosaur skeleton.
Not sure where to start? We’ve put together a January reading list packed with epic adventures, heartfelt memoirs, dazzling re‑imaginings, and even foodie fun — but you’re not limited to those titles. Feel free to browse our graphic novel shelves, or explore thousands more through ComicsPlus and Hoopla with your AHPL card.
Graphic novels offer a fresh, visual way to experience storytelling, pulling you right into the action one panel at a time. Whether you’re a longtime fan or trying the format for the first time, this is the perfect month to dig in.
Turn the pages, discover something new, and unearth extra points — your next fossil find might be waiting in a comic, manga, or graphic memoir.
