Off Topic Question About Graphic Novels/Comics...

Image
By Molly


Hopefully this isn't too inappropriate for the group blog, I just wanted to know if anyone can recommend some interesting graphic novels/Comics for me to read over the summer.

I've previously read (in as short a list as possible): Absolute Sandman vol. 1 & 2, The Walking Dead, Preacher, Maus, Scott Pilgrim, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Watchmen, V for Vendetta, a bundle of Batman ones, All Star Superman, Red Son, The Boys and I currently have From Hell on the go but I don't really know where to go next. 

Whether it's got a particular art style that's worth a look or it's good for the story alone, I appreciate any recommendations you can give me! :D

    If you're after something really experimental then anything by Chris Ware will do. Actually, anything by those authors is top notch and I forgot to add:

    American Splendor by Harvey Pekar
    Kingdom Come by Alex Ross and Mark Waid
    Lone Wolf and Cub by Kazuo Koike
    Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea/Burma Chronicles/Shenzhen: A Travelogue From China by Guy Delisle
    Safe Area Gorazde/Palestine by Joe Sacco
    Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
