Do you read comics, graphic novels, or manga? Whether you're an avid reader or collector, or want to start reading, there are a few places in Qatar to find these books.

Comic books are strips of narrative art compiled in magazine form. They have been around since the 1930s and have recently gained popularity as superheroes and fantasy stories have become a trend in modern media.

Graphic novels are long-form comics with complete narratives, while manga are Japanese-style comics.
