For National Comic Book Day, here are 10 non-fiction books about comics that will deepen your knowledge and appreciation about this wonderful medium.

'The Loxleys and Confederation' makes a difficult subject clear, relevant and interesting. It’s a perfect resource for history teachers and a great piece of comic art that tells a poignant and dramatic story allowing readers to see why Canada is such a great country.
