@bookstodon and other avid readers, either I'm terrible at searching, or what I am looking for doesn't exist (in the U.S.)

I am interested in a print-only (no digital) adult graphic novel subscription service, not comics, and not the superhero stuff. Do I need to search by bookstores? Cratejoy is for the U.K. only, and I thought Panels would be perfect: quarterly, indie pubs, but I can only find their digital app. I would like physical copies, in a monthly or quarterly box subscription.

Does anyone know anything like this?

@kimlockhartga @bookstodon not precisely this but many independent comic shops will let you create a “pull list” and will then offer to bundle up the issues you have asked for (which can all be graphic novels) and ship them to you. It probably won’t be for a standard monthly cost but instead the actual costs of the books (often with a small discount)

Illusive comics and games (https://www.illusivecomics.com) which is where I have my pull list (and is a queer woman owned business) does this

@Rycaut @bookstodon thank you. I will take a look.

@kimlockhartga @bookstodon and the nice thing about a local comic shop is once they get to know your preferences they often will tell you about forthcoming works by creators you have read in the past or similar works by newer creators. A lot of the individual issues/ graphic novels I am reading currently were via such recommendations. I pick them up in person but the store is just 15 mins away.
