graphic novels that make you go wow

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

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!

Seconding Persepolis!

Ooh, lionsntigersnbears that Saga looks like our sort of thing, I have ordered volume one for DHs Christmas. I just hope amazon isn't busy Recommending it to him!

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

Tamara Drewe by Posy Simmonds - brilliant!

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?

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