World Language Graphic Novels

Explore the Five College Libraries' selection of graphic novels in languages other than English!

Whether you want further your language learning, approach a research topic from a different angle, or relax with a good book, we have a graphic novel for you!

The languages represented are primarily those taught in the Five Colleges, though some are conspicuously absent as graphic novels did not become a popular storytelling medium in the area in which that language is spoken.


Most of the graphic novels live in the Du Bois Library on the UMass Amherst campus while others are located at Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College, or Smith College.
