| Summary: | This article reports that HarperCollins Publishers Inc. has unveiled plans to establish itself as British market leader for graphic novels by 2008, ahead of what it predicts will be considerable growth in the sector. The publisher's schedule for 2006 includes a raft of new graphic novel titles targeted at a wider range of readers than the traditional Manga market. Among the forthcoming titles are a pre-teen girls' series, Babymouse, the Abadazad tales--characterized by fairy tale-style illustrations--besides a more typical, Japanese-sourced series, Buddha.
