Butcher Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 List / discuss your favorite graphic novels of all time. Big reader and collector of graphic novels here. I prefer mature indie graphic novels, not too into the superhero crap, but all graphic novels are welcome in this thread. Here's 3 of my favorites, more to come. Hicksville - Dylan Horrocks. A real groundbreaker in the field. Funny, well drawn, and immensely thoughtful. Deals with relationships and the growth of an artist, with many bizarre tangents. Wimbledon Green - Seth Canadian artist Seth has done a lot of great graphic novels. This isnt his best drawn, but its my favorite. If you love comic books youll love the story of mr. wimbledon green, comic collector and bidder superb, and the controversy around him. Craig Thompson - Blankets Thompson really made a name for himself here. A story about a first relationship and first love told with great care and innocence, and coming to terms with the religion you were brought up with. Zanta - Jason Kieffer If you lived in toronto between 2002 - 2007 you probably came across Zanta - a street personality who brightened peoples days with his year round santa hat, shirtless, doing push ups, making jokes, and never once asking for money. Unjustly crucified by the toronto police in the end. Story about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Did you go to the Spiegelman retrospective at the Vancouver Art Gallery this summer? Kind of interesting to see all the rough work for Maus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rounoush Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 These jump to mind. I also have some Batman graphic novels and I love X-Men Comics; the earlier stuff being the best. The very best part is the whole Phoenix saga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
