Recommend some graphic novels?

Post by Morrosseth »

No well known superhero stuff and no manga. I've read tons and tons of manga and am still working on several series.
I'm looking for more unique graphic novels.
I've read almost everything by Neil Gaiman and everything by Kazu Kibuishi who is my favorite.

Check out Daniel Clowes-- David Boring, Ice Haven, etc.

And some more mainstream stuff: Sin City, V for Vendetta, A History of Violence.

There is also a very cool compilation of four early woodcut novels that are the precursor to the modern graphic novel. It's called Graphic Witness; you can find it on Amazon.

And if you haven't read it yet, you should read Maus by Art Spiegelman.

Hope any one of those piqued your interest.

Watchmen is my favorite graphic novel to date. It is a very intense novel and does a wonderful job on bringing you into the story and connecting everything together. I also just read Sin City (volume one) and that was a good read as well.

Rat Queens, Southern Bastards, Low (by Rick Remender), Mind MGMT, Sweet Tooth, and you probably know this one but if you love Sandman then you should be reading Fables.
