First, you might want to explore some of the more well - known authors in the graphic novel world. For example, Neil Gaiman has some great epic fantasy works like 'Sandman'. Look for graphic novels that have been made into movies or TV shows as well, such as 'V for Vendetta'. This can give you a visual reference point. Another option is to browse online reviews and forums dedicated to graphic novels. People often share their thoughts on which epic fantasy graphic novels are great for beginners, and you can learn a lot from their experiences.
To start getting into epic fantasy graphic novels, consider your interests first. If you like medieval - style fantasy, look for graphic novels set in that kind of world. You can start with free previews available online to get a feel for the art style and story. Many libraries also have a good selection of graphic novels. Borrow some different ones to see what you like. Also, don't be afraid to start with something that has a simple premise at first. For example, 'Bone' has a relatively easy - to - follow story but still has all the elements of an epic fantasy, and as you get more into it, you can explore more complex works.
