The folks at America's largest state library system, the Texas Library Association, have named BB WOLF & THE 3 LPs to their 2011 Maverick Graphic Novel Reading List! The book, written by J.D. Arnold with art by Rich Koslowski, is a thrilling story of race, revenge, and Delta blues that adapts a classic fairytale to Jim Crow-era Misssissippi.

The Texas Maverick list is the first (and so far, only) recommended reading list dedicated to graphic novels issued by a state association. It's designed to spotlight great comics for grades 6-12 in a variety of styles and subjects. BB WOLF is specifically recommended for the oldest age group, "Young Adult / Adult."

We note with pride that Super Spy author Matt Kindt is on the list as well, with his newest book 3 Story.

Thanks to everyone on the Maverick committee and congratulations to all the honorees!
