Hello,
I really rate Maus - about the holocaust as being amazing, and have watchmen too.
Have bought dh one about a plague for Xmas (shamelessly really a present to me!)
Anyone else have any recommendations?
Thanks

Most have been got but I also love Barry Ween, Boy Genius; Girl Genius- both sort of inventor+gadget romps. Ranma; Bleach in Manga both great although I found Bleach dies out a bit around 30 (it's on 40+ now). Mouseguard is very pretty. Logicomix is on the level of Persepolis/ Maus for the complicated end of GN with a message. Order of the Stick just for fun.

C4ro, we were massive fans of the bleach anime but it finished for ever in a really lame way.
Some of these sound amazing, can't wait to get ebaying!

Hoe you enjoy it Surgeonsmate. I'm waiting for Vol. 2, and I have no patience :-)
Also remembered 'Castle Waiting' - which might be out of print. Its a weird story- nothing much happens, but its completely charming and the art work is brilliant. It reads as though written by Neil Gaiman on a really happy day. Its set in the world of Sleeping Beauty- but after she has recovered and gone off with her prince charming. The castle becomes a refuge for fairy tale characters. I can't really describe it, but it's touching without being schmaltzy

I really liked Pure by Andrew Miller. It's about digging up an old graveyard in Paris in the 18th century

X Men Noir, the Firefly series and The Walking Deads.
Agree with Sin City, V for Vendetta and Watchmen.
Keep hearing amazing things about Maus, it's on my Christmas list 
I have not read many but highly rate 'Maus' and 'Persepolis'.
I have just bought 'Palestine' as a Christmas present for my sister. Has anybody read it?

Would recommend some Alison Bechdel - already mentioned here.
Another vote for anything and everything by Posy Simmonds
Asterios Polyp - weird and brilliant.
