Michelle,
Many of the titles that are on your list are not appropriate for middle
school students, especially 6th graders. Several titles on this list are
really adult titles that could be used in many high school LMCs, if
previewed first. Unfortunately, many vendors are not familiar with graphic
novels and unknowingly recommend titles that are not age-appropriate. With
this in mind, I would strongly recommend that you preview the following
titles before adding them to your collection:
To The Heart Of The Storm: Eisner, Will
The Tragical Comedy Or Comical Tragedy Of Mr. Punch: A Romance: =
Gaiman, Neil
(both of these titles are designated by the publisher as intended for a
Mature Audience)

Violent Cases: Words & Pictures: Gaiman, Neil
Watchmen: Moore, Alan Moore
Jack the Ripper: a journal of the Whitechapel murders, 1888-1889: =
Geary, Rick
Jar Of Fools: Lutes, Jason
(these four titles are for older teens and have mature content)
