Comic cards 2026

Let's celebrate the awesome creators of the 2026 Comic Cards!

You can collect the set of these awesome cards between May 1st and June 19th in 2026 - all you have to do is take out a comic or graphic novel from any library location. We'll be releasing one card per week, so keep popping in, keep taking out books, and keep enjoying graphic novels!

The characters were designed by members of Awapuni Library's Comic Creation Club. You can see more of their work at Awapuni Library - some of them have even made books you can borrow!

Read about all the characters and their creators below.

Week 1 (May 1): Half-Side Harry by Lloyd

Cory is a crime lord along with his partner in crime, Ashlyna. They are the most powerful crime lords ever, and they don’t know. Cory has a mechanical-robotic arm which can transform. His two most prized possessions are a very sus looking toyota hilux and a 4K gold flip phone. This phone features an AI cat assistant which is a hologram. He also blows stuff up.

AgentHug is actually an alien from Planet Thrae! Everything on Thrae is reversed from Earth! Dot Hogs, the Son, even Pop Sticks, Agenthug's home planet is very crazy.
