Porbably the best graphic novel to appear in the past couple of decades is "Dark Knight Returns" by Frank Miller. I would read a few of the Batman origin collections, first, so you can understand what Miller is paying homage and expanding on. But if you like Batman, this is a brilliant story, with pathos, great art, and a few surprises.

If you really wanna get into comics for the artwork definetly check out the Batman hush seriers. Ummmm, pretty much also anything Frank Miller (the guy that wrote SIn City), and also check out the artwork on the new Civil Wars that are coming out, some the the artwork are just amazing

For woman leads, i could propose various the affection & Rockets compilations from Los Bros. Hernandez. There are sooo many to make a call from and the characters are so numerous, you may desire to ask somebody in a comedian shop the place to initiate- yet i think of the books "Chester sq." and "Whoa Nellie" could be examine with none background. Of classic image novels, i could say Kingdom Come with the aid of Alex Ross, The dark Knight Returns with the aid of Frank Miller, Black Widow, and once you're partial to the X-adult men, outstanding X-adult men with the aid of Joss Whedon.

my fave artist is phil jimenez. he did wonder woman for 3 years, he just did infinite crisis and he has his own comic called otherworld..........best bet go to a comic book shop look around till something catches your eye. check out the old/used bins they're much cheaper you may even be able to get 'em in bulk for $1 each....................good luck

the Sandman series by Neil Gaiman kicks butt.
There are 10, but you can read them in any order.
