The Emily the Strange Graphic Novels represent the earliest book-length appearances of Rob Reger’s iconic character. Starting with the self-titled Emily the Strange in 2001, these three volumes establish the visual world that would later be expanded in novel form. The graphic novels lean into the character’s origins as a design-driven property, with heavy emphasis on illustration and atmosphere.
The volumes include Emily’s Secret Book of Strange and Emily’s Good Nightmares, each offering a mix of short stories, artwork, and the dark whimsy that defines the character. These books are closer to art objects than traditional graphic novels, blending narrative with visual experimentation in a way that reflects Emily’s roots in skateboard and sticker culture.
