Graphic Novel Recommendations
What graphic novels should others be reading, and why?
I just finished V for Vendetta by Alan Moore, and I highly recommend it. I admit to being biased, I loved the movie first, but this book is more than the sum of it's parts.
This was dystopian before dystopian was cool.
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

I also like Bryan K. Vaughn's Pride of Baghdad, if you are looking for something not superhero related. This is a beautiful piece of work.

I've heard other high recommendations for Tank Girl. Is there an accompanying movie as well, or am I crossing it with something else?kb33 wrote:I've only read the first book of it but I really like Tank Girl. It's drawn in an interesting style with a female protagonist. It has a bunch of small stories that build into a larger story. Highly recommend.

weiwei wrote:The Sculptor by Scott McCloud is a beautiful and heartbreaking graphic novel. The story is about a young sculptor named David Smith. By making a deal with Death, he gets to sculpt anything imaginable with his bare hands. The catch is that he only has 200 days to live. It took my breath away when I finished the last page. This story is more than just plots and twists. It is a very moving story and I strongly recommend this graphic novel.
I have passed on this one several times.next time I will brring it home.
I picked up this little gem called Bird in a Cage.
Sad but thought provoking.
and strong look invincible.
She walked with the Universe
on her shoulders and made it
look like a pair of wings.

Dead High Yearbook sounds really interesting! I think that I will need to check it out- I love Tales from the Darkside...NolaLady03 wrote:Graphic novels are fast becoming a genre that has a huge following particularly if included manga. That another topic by itself. I love horror and my spouse gave me graphic novel titled Dead High Yearbook. This was collection of stories that told in vein old horror classic Tales from Darksides as stories been told two main narrators and spoilers alert are connected. The stories are woven by different authors which you can tell yet they make a nice supernatural blanket of horror and Gore.
