Hay Festival has been celebrating Graphic Novels all day today with the festival in full swing.

A designated reading tent and a Magic the Gathering card game tent helped celebrate the day. The Graphic Novel Reading Room was open from 10am to 6pm for punters to discover a wide range of genres including non-fiction, graphic medicine, travelogue, journalism, memoirs and many more.

Hundreds of titles were provided for people to browse and read, and you could finish whole books in one sitting.

Neil Cameron, the creator of the bestselling Donut Squad series, was joined on stage by Thiago de Moraes and Laura Ellen Anderson from the world of The Phoenix comic for an interactive show.

Elsewhere on the festival site graphic novelists Scarlett and Sophie Rickard and Myfanwy Tristram discussed writing about protest, the link between art and activism, and why the comic book is the perfect medium to discuss raising our voices against injustice.

Stop-motion animator and writer Astrid Goldsmith talked to Donut Squad cartoonist Neill Cameron on the Spring Stage about family feuds, buried secrets and the unavoidable life admin after death, as explored in her debut graphic memoir, The Crystal Vase.
