Does anyone know where I can get my hands on some graphic novels for supplementing my reading classes??

They must be in Seoul somewhere, I just don't want to have my mom ship them all the way from the states if I buy them on amazon. Thanks in advance!!

What the Book has them and YoungPoong Bookstore at Jonggak station has them. I would imagine Kyobo would also have them. What level are your classes? If you teach older kids then I would suggest that you have them read Maus by Art Spiegelman.

thanks for the advice, I'm planning on checking them out this weekend.

My students range from 13-16 years old and just need exposure to a variety of high interest material to get them over the hump. So I'm hoping graphic novels will be a fun unit.
