I've never read a graphic novel, nor a comic book since I was a kid...
a few days ago I discovered _Jar of Fools_ by Jason Lutes (I was lured
in by the Sherman Alexie introduction). Wow... this really blew me
away. I have already ordered Berlin: City of Stones and will look for
other work of Lutes'

But does anyone want to proffer a suggestion or two for work in this
vein (hard to be more specific, the best I can say is that I'm not
into fantasy as such, though I read some sci-fi on occasion, but I
love contemporary lit fiction, poetry, classic lit, etc. and I thrive
on sound character development regardless of the context) or that
might open my eyes to the "good stuff" out there?

Sorry if this is the wrong forum... Lutes' name appears to pop up in
here most often.

I'd check out Summer Blonde by Adrian Tomine if I were you. Also, any of
Daniel Clowes or Andi Watson's work. Actually with Watson, maybe stick with
either Breakfast After Noon, Dumped, or Slow News Day. Enjoy!

Blankets by Craig Thompson is absolutely wonderful. You might also
check out Alex Robinson's Box Office Poison and Persepolis by Marjane
Satrapi.
