The following is a list of literary agents who represent graphic novels and comics. Every agency on this list has mentioned an interest in graphic novels either on their website or their blog, or made a GN sale– no second-hand info unless it was well vouched for.
If you’re looking for the basics on how to write a query or pitch for your graphic novel, agent Maria Vicente has put together a helpful guide over on her site!
