Maus: A Survivor' s Tale - Art Speigelman
An anthropomorphic representation of a holocaust survivor' s story. My absolute all-time favorite graphic novel (certainly not a comic-book, and not an easy read).
V For Vendetta - Alan Moore/David Lloyd (writer/illustrator, respectively)
The movie was okay, but thoroughly disappointing after the magic that was the graphic novel. I definitely suggest anybody who found the movie interesting go out & read the better version of the story.
