Start the new year with bold art and unforgettable stories! January’s Race 200 theme is Graphic Novels, and we’ve packed the list with everything from epic adventures (Dune, The Odyssey) to heartfelt memoirs (It Rhymes With Takei, Persepolis), dazzling re‑imaginings (Lore Olympus, A Wizard of Earthsea), and even foodie fun (Let’s Make Ramen).
Graphic novels aren’t just for comic fans — they’re a fresh way to experience storytelling, blending words and visuals to pull you right into the action. Plus, every graphic novel you read this month earns you extra points toward completing the dinosaur skeleton in Race 200.
So dig in, turn the pages, and let the art carry you away — your next fossil find might be a panel at a time!
