Graphic novels? (self.Blind)
submitted by RJHand
Anyone know where I can find accessible graphic novels? I'm looking for a specific book, if such a place even exists to find these. I'm in college and in one class am supposed to read one. Is that even possible when your blind lol

There are not a lot, but I can definitely tell you that there are people out there working on it.

Here is what I know about:

* $1 (available online - it is a described version made by one woman for her friend)
* The Walking Dead - Trade volume 1 - (issues 1 to 6) Please PM me if you are interested in this
* $1 does "Prose Novelizations" of many comics
* $1 \- comic book writers will write scripts. The scripts have instructions for the illustrators. It is important to note that the illustrators will often make different choices from what the author instructed, so the final version of the comic might not exactly reflect the script. This page has a bunch of single issues of comics

Don't think so, unfortunately. I want to read the Sandman series by Neil Gaiman, I hear a lot about it, but it's impossible.

$1

The comment above contained links to comic scripts, where the writer describes the panels as instructions for the illustrators. There was a Sandman comic in there, just one, but it's something.

I had to read a particular graphic novel for a class and we got the local school for the blind to write in all the descriptions of the pictures and the text itself.

You won't find the one book you need. If you want quality descriptions use Aira and make use of their 5 free minutes per call. The other way would be to get services from a reader, and have the reader describe the images.

Professor should be providing an accessible version of the comic. Though few do, it is the schools responsibility to get you what you need.
