ComicsPlus
Centerville Library patrons may now access ComicsPlus, a database where they can “read all the comics” with thousands of digital comics, graphic novels, manga, and picture books — all on computers, tablets, and phones. There are no holds, wait lists, or monthly borrowing limits, and new titles are added to Comics Plus every week.
The collection is divided into three different categories: the full collection, the teen collection, and the children’s collection. Each includes a diverse selection of titles for readers from a variety of popular publishers, including Andrews McMeel, BOOM! Studios, Dark Horse, Fantagraphics, Image Comics, Kodansha, Oni Press, Papercutz, Tokyopop, UDON Entertainment, Yen Press, and dozens more. You can move between these categories as you see fit.
