The latest issue of Library Journal (3/1/'04) has a review of some graphic novels which may not show up in your average comic shop. These are 'wordless' and don't feature you typical super-heroes duking it out. They range from a reprint of the 'grandfather' of all such books Belgian artist Frans Masereel's 1919 "romans in beelden "(novels in pictures) , PASSIONATE JOURNEY to DC's reprints of the Japanese manga series GON (by Masashi Tanaka).

The print version of LJ also has several pages of reviews of more contemporary (and wordy) graphic novels, plus ads for severl publishers of such material. Sadly I can't seem to get this up online, so you might want to head to your local library and check it out (so to speak!). :-)
