While comics and graphic novels are known for powerful heroes and action-packed adventures, we at Stela know they can be so much more. From heartwarming tales of family like Blankets to emotional memoirs like MAUS, the medium of sequential art provides a whole host of possibilities for creative expression.

More than anything else, we’ve realized that this medium can mean different things for different people — especially for our readers at Stela.

So, what about you? What do you go to comics for? What excites you and drives you to keep grabbing new stories as they arrive?
