There’s 14 books currently planned for the graphic novel series with a number of each created by a different artist. Raina Telgemeier illustrated books 1–4 in The Baby-Sitters Club graphic novels series. Books 5–7 of the series were illustrated by Gale Galligan. The eighth book, Logan Likes Mary Anne, will also be illustrated by Galligan and is set to be released this September. While the comics stay true to the original books for the most part, there are some new additions. But don’t worry, all the best parts are there with a whole lot more. For anyone who wants to revisit Stoneybrook and its famous girl gang in a new unique way, here’s your guide to The Baby-Sitters Club Graphic Novel Series.
The Baby-Sitters Club Graphic Novels: What’s Changed?
We can’t imagine fashionista and expert baby-sitter Stacey McGill without her long hair, but Galligan’s version of the character has a much more drastic blonde bob. That’s not all. Artsy Claudia got a hairdo that matches her personality as well, pink bangs and all. While die-hard fans of the BSC probably know the order of the books by heart, Telgemeier actually chose to illustrate Book #7, Claudia And The Mean Janine, instead of Claudia and the Phantom Phone Caller, which was originally the second book in the series. According to her, the former did a better job at exploring Claudia’s character. The Baby-Sitters Club graphic novels also help expand the series audience. With colourful illustrations and expressive scenes, they’re much easier and more accessible than plain text. Both artists who have illustrated the current books each have their own unique style. Yet they both manage to capture the characters’ expressions perfectly. Keeping all this in mind, I wanted to rank the graphic novels in terms of visuals, readability and just how fun I thought the stories were. With that being said, here’s how I think The Baby-Sitters Club Graphic Novels Series stacks up. So there you have it. My ranking of The Baby-Sitters Club Graphic Novels series based on illustrations, storylines and a lot of nostalgia.
