Sounds interesting though, so I'll search it out. <br /><br />@Lauren, yeah the visual thing seems to be an issue for plenty of book readers. I'm equally a film and book fan though, so I imagine that's one of the reasons graphic novels work so well for me.<br /><br />@Allison and Andi, thanks!<br /><br />@Danica, I'm sure you'll love Maus, I'm yet to meet anyone who thought it was anything less than phenomenal!<br /><br />@Laura, I'm only on book four so far, but yes, pretty huge. It's just been completed (i think) so hopefully I'll be able to conclude it soon enough!<br /><br />@Heidi, yay! A fellow Transmetro reader! It was the series me and my boyfriend bonded over on our first date :)<br /><br />@Li, thanks for stopping over. The art is such a great draw for graphic novels, though it always makes me a little sad that I can barely draw a stick figure!<br /><br />@LBC, The Sandman series is wonderful (and huge) but I'm still trying to finish it! Persepolis is one of the top books on my TBR list at the moment, the modern art gallery in town is currently doing a "drawn to screen" series of films which are films based on graphic novels/comics, and the Persepolis film is on the bill but I want to read it first.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09259549933849264277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786594091195860484.post-82689373830961837062012-01-18T12:49:10.186+10:002012-01-18T12:49:10.186+10:00There are so many of these that I have read/heard ...There are so many of these that I have read/heard of.

I'm a very visual person, but something about not being able to imagine the stories on my own bothers me a little I guess. I confess, though, I had no idea there was a graphic novel adaptation of Stephen King's The Stand. I have a friend who might really enjoy that, so I should look into it. :DLaurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101490537328642725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786594091195860484.post-82078842483598218302012-01-18T01:59:20.367+10:002012-01-18T01:59:20.367+10:00This is an AWESOME list, Kayleigh!!

I read <i>Watchmen</i> and <i>Safe Area Gorazde</i> which is about the Bosnian-Serbian war; I have some others but strangely enough only Watchmen is Fantasy. I'm definitely adding these to my wishlist!!Shannon (Giraffe Days)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00873129203015194947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786594091195860484.post-4459970236191229572012-01-17T21:42:51.761+10:002012-01-17T21:42:51.761+10:00Megs do youself a favour and hunt it down!

I haven't read that one yet though. <br /><br />@Drea, hopefully you can add a couple to your TBR list then! These are all some of my favourites, so they're high on my list of recs. <br /><br />@Michael, I hope you enjoy getting into graphic novels. My one piece of advice would to give it a second try if at first you find the format a little distracting/uncomfortable. <br /><br />@Lu, Thanks!<br /><br />@Kimberly, every time I head into my local comic store I find about 50 new titles I just have to read, it's a great world to be part of!
