Graphic novels and comics hold a special place in my heart, so of course I’m all for graphic novels and comics that have these themes. The gorgeous art helping to better evoke their stories, their joy, sadness, and growth, and it gives you a deeper insight into the world around them. If you like such books, then you’re in luck. Here’s a list of graphic novels and comic books which feature characters seeking acceptance, both from themselves and others, and looking for a place to belong where they can finally be themselves. These books are from several genres, from contemporary slice of life to fantasy, sci-fi, magical realism, and more. Some feature characters finding their home and where they belong, while some are about characters realizing that looking for a place to belong might be the issue and they’re allowed to just be themselves, wherever they are. If you do add these books to your reading list, I hope you enjoy reading them and experience the myriad emotions they invoke!
