Salvete!
Comics and graphic novels require a lot of thought if you want to get
things right. Much of this article deals with classification instead of
cataloguing, but it's worth a look. At the days end, they're special
periodicals. If you catalogue your magazines, you should catalogue your comics.

I do have to say that they are great circ horses and for the price to
circulation ratio, really can't be beat. Your mileage will vary on
preservation. If your Patrons are conscientious you might find that things
don't go to shreds as soon as you might anticipate for old school comics. For
bound proper graphic novels, you'll probably discover that they hold up far
better than the average Danielle Steel. Patrons that are unsure about the genre
will often come around when introduced to something with depth like Neil
Gaiman's Sandman series.
Hope this helped,
