Comics in the School Library

I am in the midst of a project addressing how comic books and graphic novels

Does your library collect this type of material?

Does it bring in reluctant readers and students otherwise turned off to the
library?

How do you order this material? jobbers? direct?

What kind of problems, if any, are experienced over the graphic and violent
content of many of the comics and graphic novels?

Are teachers using these materials as supplementary curriculum materials? And
if so, which ones and for what?

I will make a hit if I receive a number of responses.

Thanks for your help. This project is due July 6.
