Graphic novel recommendations wanted Tim Send a noteboard - 26/12/2011 05:24:49 PM
I have a £25 gift card to spend on books and have decided I would like to add to my very small graphic novel collection, with either one large volume or two smaller ones adding up to roughly that amount. However, I don't really know what to get, and so I turn to you for help.

Criteria:
  • Colour artwork (that meansiFrom Helliis out, unfortunately)
  • No brainless thrillers
  • Must be able to get entire story without going over budget

I already have (or have read):
  • Sandmani(all of it)
  • Watchmen
  • Persepolis
  • The Crow
  • Stardusti(illustrated)
  • Eternals
  • Kidnappiti(that's R.L. Stevenson'siKidnappediin Scots; not that anyone was likely to recommend that...)

Help me, Rafonauts, you're my only hope, &c.

I actually saw that in Waterstones, and thought about getting it. Tim - 26/12/2011 10:20:58 PM 590 Views

If he does read that, or if you do, I'd love to read a review. Legolas - 27/12/2011 09:12:13 PM 666 Views
Sadly, I won't get to it this year Larry - 29/12/2011 03:10:21 PM 616 Views

If you want a massive graphic novel to read, one that likely costs £25 or even more... Larry - 26/12/2011 08:27:07 PM 541 Views
