Beyond Capes: Stories That Redefine the Medium
Beyond Capes is more than just a graphic novel website — it’s a curated space dedicated to shining a light on the incredible diversity of stories that comics can tell. While superheroes have long dominated the shelves, the world of graphic novels stretches far beyond masked vigilantes and epic battles. We focus on uncovering and celebrating works that challenge expectations, embrace new genres, and give voice to unique creators from around the globe. Whether it’s a quiet slice-of-life tale, a thought-provoking sci-fi epic, or a deeply personal memoir, we believe every graphic novel deserves the chance to be discovered and appreciated. Beyond Capes exists to connect readers with these hidden gems, fostering a community that values creativity, originality, and the boundless possibilities of visual storytelling.

About Me
About Me Hi, I’m Khari Woods — a passionate developer, lifelong storyteller, and competitive martial artist. I’ve always loved creating useful tools that bring like-minded people together, and Beyond Capes is one of them. After months of searching for a place that truly highlighted the incredible range of graphic novels beyond traditional superhero tales, I decided to build it myself. This platform is my way of celebrating the countless unique, imaginative stories waiting to be discovered — and connecting readers who are just as excited about exploring them as I am. When I’m not coding or building communities, you can usually find me training in martial arts — a discipline that, much like storytelling, challenges me to grow, adapt, and think creatively. Feel free to reach out and connect with me — I’d love to hear about the stories and creators that inspire you, too. You can connect with me here!
