The two graphic novels above, Fun Home by Alison Bechdel and Habibi by Craig Thompson has made the American Library Association’s “Most Banned Books” list of 2015.  Remember these are the opinions of individuals that some would agree with and some would not, you would have to read each graphic novel yourself to see what you think.  For Fun Home was challenged for the following reasons “violence and other graphic images” and with Habibi for nudity, sexually explicit and unsuited for age group. Thanks to Nicole Bunge and ICv2 for the information.
