Greetings colleagues, from Tulane,

Increasingly, the book ordering slips I receive from various vendors
include comics.

   - Are comics now an authentic literary genre?


   - Do you add them to your collection, and if so, how do you select?


   - What kind of patron access do you provide?  Do they circulate?


Here's an example of a slip for a comic book from the French vendor
Amalivre, with the vendor's highest, 3 star rating:
