I haven't read any graphic novels in a long time; a while back I shared five of my absolute favourite graphic novels worth reading, here are a few I haven't read but desperately want to get my hands on.
#1 The Encyclopedia of Early Earth by Isabel Greenberg
#2 In Pieces by Marion Fayolle
#3 The New Ghost by Rob Hunter
#4 Hark! A Vagrant by Kate Beaton
#5 Black Hole by Charles Burns
#6 Adverbs by Daniel Handler
I'm currently reading Hark! A Vagrant and it is really good. It has great humor in it and I love how it features famous characters from history and great novelists in it.
ReplyDeleteI've only ever heard wonderful things about Hark! A Vagrant :D
ReplyDeleteRead Black Hole a few years back and loved it.
ReplyDeleteBlack hole is really good!! I really want ot read the encyclopedia. Sofie xx

Black Hole is meant to be a great read :) x
ReplyDeleteBlack Hole is so good. Adverbs is also brilliant (but it's a proper novel, not graphic). I highly recommend Daniel Handler!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! If you like Hark! A Vagrant, then I recommend reading Nimona (http://gingerhaze.com/nimona/comic/).
ReplyDeleteI've read Black Hole and it was really interesting. I recommend Fate of the Artist - it's a little different but another good one.

Haven't read any of these (shame) but I'm putting this on my list!

I've only read one graphic novel, 'Maus' by Art Spiegelman, and I would highly, highly recommend it. It's a true story about the writer's father's experiences in World War II and it's sad and harrowing at times but such an interesting, compelling read.
ReplyDeleteFaye x
i wish i could wink
'Maus' has been on my to-read list for YEARS.. I can just never bring myself to read it although I know I will be completely moved by it.
ReplyDeleteI ordered three graphic novels yesterday including two from above - I can't wait to read them!
ReplyDeleteI bought 'Black Hole' yesterday and I can't wait to read it - Thank you for your suggestion! :))
ReplyDeleteAwesome - thank you for the recommendation
ReplyDeleteOh, you must! I would recommend starting with The Sandman, it's my absolute favourite of all time.
ReplyDeleteOh - thank you for correcting me, I don't know why that was in my graphic novels list then - oops! :))
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to finally getting around to reading it.
ReplyDeleteI picked it up yesterday so it should be in one of my book reviews soon :))
ReplyDeleteGood choice ;))
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read it. I bought a copy yesterday; it's been on my to-read list FOREVER.
ReplyDeleteSomething about it really appeals to me :))
ReplyDeleteSo pleased it's as awesome as it sounds - I might pick it up next :))
