Graphic novels are such a hot thing now that big time publishers are starting to have their own imprints just for the graphic medium.  Some of them are specific to age suitability, but others are not. Here are a couple of the most popular ones.

LION FORGE

What's that? Lion Forge is already a graphic novel publisher, you say? That's right, an entire publishing house dedicated to graphic novels, but in order to make buying easier, Lion Forge has several imprints based on age range and interest.

Lion Forge's slogan (Comics for Everyone) is increasingly true with every novel they publish.  Their focus is on diversity and inclusion within the graphic novel medium.
