Top 10 Graphic Novels

Favourite Graphic Novels:

1) Watchmen by Alan Moore. The seminal masterpiece of the genre, and still as relevant twenty years later.

2) Scott Pilgim by Brian Lee O'Malley. This still unfinished slacker epic is terrific, bizarre, and wholly Canadian. let's hope the upcoming movie doesn't screw it up.

3) Therefore, Repent! by Jim Munroe. Another Canadian winner, a look at a bizarre world where the rapture seemingly occured, magic is now rampant, and two confused lovers are caught in the middle.

4) The Walking Dead series by Robert Kirkman. A stark, brutal examination of the downfall of humanity after zombies take over the world. The closest anyone has yet come to capturing the original horror of George Romero's first two zombie epics.

5) Black Hole by Charles Burns. Gorgeous B&W images highlight this tale of teens infected with an STD that transforms their bodies in unique and unexpected ways.

6) Maus by Art Spiegelman. A holocaust memoir presented with jews as mice and the Nazis as cats. Utterly brilliant.

7) Howard the Duck by Steve Gerber. A collection of the 1970's genre-shattering comic book.

8) Batman: The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller. A re-examination of Batman's methods and style that transformed both the comics and the movies.

9) From Hell by Alan Moore. An attempt to unearth the true face behind Jack the Ripper.

10)The Burma Chronicles by Guy Diesel. anne of green gables dvd science books for kids
