No problem. There's plenty of other stuff to read! I'd recommend the following:<br /><br />Locke & Key<br />The Unwritten<br />Daytripper<br />Phonogram (if you like pop/rock music -- hard to find)<br />Return of the Dapper Men<br />The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (by Alan Moore, pretend the movie doesn't exist)<br />V for Vendetta (by Alan Moore)<br />Hellboy/B.P.R.D. (by Mike Mignola -- if you like Lovecraft)<br />Fables<br />Blankets<br />Why I Hate Saturn<br />Echo (by Terry Moore)<br />The Cape (not the NBC TV series, something completely different by Joe Hill)<br />Y: The Last Man<br />Blacksad<br />Sandman Mystery Theatre (not the Sandman you're thinking of, but kind of related, set in the 1930s)<br />Nexus (by Mike Baron & Steve Rude)<br />Death: The High Cost of Living (1993)<br />Death: The Time of Your Life (1996)<br />Ronin (by Frank Miller)<br />Xenozoic Tales<br />Cages (by Dave McKean)<br />The Invisibles (by Grant Morrison)Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13497641011271747852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5962222688699015617.post-34310723523264258202011-11-21T20:41:33.001-05:002011-11-21T20:41:33.001-05:00I can't get into graphic novels. I've trie...I can't get into graphic novels. I've tried, but I find that I can't focus my attention on the words, especially if there are a lot of words in each frame. In the interest of full disclosure, I have the same problem with wordy comic strips. :)<br /><br />That said, I have read one graphic novel (well it was a collection) that I really really enjoyed: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/92143.Bone" rel="nofollow">Bone: The Complete Cartoon Epic</a>. <br /><br />For whatever it's worth, I don't care much about superheroes, either. I assure you, this makes me not fit in well at work. ;)kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00231506194793708086noreply@blogger.com
