I've had a graphic novel collection for 4 years now and have learned a few things about maintaining it. First of all, they will be HOT. They must be in an area close to supervision, as the activity there will be chaotic at times. Most of my shelving is graphic novels, they're out, they're in and back out again all in one day. Keep that section close. Secondly, you need room to grow. These are almost always written in series, with volumes and volumes available for purchase. The thirst for these books is insatiable, with the students always asking for more. Here are the essential titles i would use to begin a collection (5 of each series if you can):
Bleach
Azumanga Daioh
Beauty Pop
Basara
+Anima
Fruits Basket
Full Metal Alchemist
Case Closed
The Simpsons (all of them, multiple copies)
Bone (all of them, multiple copies)
Essential X-men
Naruto
One Piece
Ouran Host Club
Persepolis
Star Wars (all of them)
Tsubasa
Spiderman
Batman
Maus 1 & 2
Mail Order Ninja
Tokyo Mew Mew
Yotsuba
Harlem Beat
ultramaniac
Calvin & Hobbes (all of them)
