What are some good graphic novels to check out (besides Watchmen)?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

1. Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth by Chris Ware (Pantheon; 2000)
2. Blankets by Craig Thompson (Top Shelf; 2003)
3. Palomar: The Heartbreak Soup Stories by Gilbert Hernandez (Fantagraphics Books; 2003)
And then the only graphic novel I've ever personally read is "Maus : A Survivor's Tale" by Art Spiegelman, which got a ton of great press when it came out in '92. Very moving. (#4 on Amazon's list)
And of course you could just read some other Alan Moore stuff: "From Hell" and "V For Vendetta" were both made into successful films and are on Amazon's list (#'s 10 and 14, respectively...Watchmen came in at #1, btw).

M$The graphic novel of "V for Vendetta" was excellent, too. The movie got the flavor of it pretty well.
Enjoy!
