I love graphic novels and I'm always interested in reading new authors and genres. Are there any graphic novels you love and would recommend? Inquiring minds want to know about them. Thanks.
What other graphic novels would you ...

Many years ago I read Persepholis, http://amzn.to/1nXQDM6, which is a memoir in graphic novel format. I was pretty impressed with it.

I am a newbie to graphic novels, but I thought Chris Ware's "Building Stories" was an interesting experience. I say "experience" rather than "read", since it is not a linear novel. It is made up if 14 or so different pieces - strips, golden book-style book, newspaper, game board- style storyboard. There are no instructions about in what order to read the pieces, so you create your own version of the story based on how you choose to read the pieces. My favorite was a booklet of strips that had no words, just pictures of everyday life moments.

Stitches - David Small
Persepolis - Marjane Satrapi
Saga - Brian K. Vaughn
Y: The Last Man - Brian K. Vaughn
Stitches in particular is a great one to give to an older person who thinks GNs aren't "real books." I had my book group (which is mainly made up of retired men and women) read it and they liked it. Persepolis is also a good "let me introduce you to graphic novels for adults" choice, as are all of Satrapi's work.
