Graphic Novels

April 28th, 2006 by rbanks

Those of you who are remotely into the more serious end of comics, titles like The Watchmen, Ghost World, From Hell etc. , will love this book. Amazon.co.uk: Graphic Novels: Stories to Change Your Life is beautifully structured. Each chapter deals with a theme, going in depth on the relevant “classic” graphic novels, and then suggesting related ones. It’s a great source for new matinal to read. Can’t recommend it enough. . . if you’re into that kind of thing.
