An unparalleled digital resource for independent reading, curriculum integration, and research.

Your annual subscription to Comics Plus® includes digital access for every faculty member and student. Every title is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for online and offline reading, with unlimited, simultaneous checkouts.

  • A deep and diverse collection that addresses historical and contemporary issues —for independent reading and research.
  • Expert curation to support curricular integration, readers’ advisory, and school-wide programming.
  • Unlimited, simultaneous access to enhance student literacy, engagement, and wellness on and off-campus.

Your Comics Plus collection is regularly updated with new titles every week — at no additional cost.

Readers can browse through the comics by popularity, recency, genre, or publisher. There’s a search field to find titles, and search results provide item records with each book’s essential details, e.g., author(s), publisher, language, genre… It is important to consider that there are no waiting lists, titles can be read an unlimited number of times by multiple users simultaneously, and the “granular title control gives administrators the power to customize Comics Plus to suit” readers’ preferences.

Summing Up: Highly recommended. General readers, lower-division undergraduates, and two-year students.
