Hey everyone....I'm looking for some good graphic novels
I've never been a fan of comics in the traditional sense so I've always stayed away from graphic novels. Then, last year, I read "Blue Pills: A Positive Love Story" by Frederik Peeters and feel in love with the story and the medium. I consider myself a "wordy" person and find myself very impressed by how much emotion, story, etc. can be told with so few words and a powerful image.
Thus far I've read:
-Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
-Blankets by Craig Thompson *AMAZING*
-Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel
I highly reccomend you check out these great books! And now....does anyone have any graphic novels you would reccomend to me?????
Thanks!!!

The king of all graphic novels is the Collected Sandman by Neil Gaiman. It/they (not designed as a graphic novel, these were comic books released over a span of 3 years) are brilliant, disturbing, thought-provoking, deep, and dream inspiring. I highly recommend them... I read them over and over again. Comics is a fantastic medium for me...
Others that I absolutely love:
V for Vendetta
The Dark Knight Returns
and the Buffy:The Vampire Slayer collected works.
Have Fun
