Comic book recommendations by cartoonist Stuart McMillen. Want to build a comic book collection, but don't know where to begin? This is #10 to #6 of the Top 10 Essential Graphic Novels countdown.
These are the comics that I think will appeal to as many readers as possible - proving that comics are about more than just superheros and gag strips.
As you can see, my top 3 books lean heavily towards autobiographical comics, with the comics memoirs Art Spiegelman’s "Maus", Alison Bechdel’s "Fun Home", and Craig Thompson’s "Blankets" featuring.
Here are the 'buy' links for each of the comics mentioned:
#5
"This One Summer" by Jillian Tamaki & Mariko Tamaki (2014)

#4
"Understanding Comics" by Scott McCloud (1993) www.bookdeposi...
#3
"Maus" by Art Spiegelman (1991)

Love the way you explain every comic, you make this explanations so comfortable to listen.

Excellent, excellent choice of graphic novels. It's refreshing how you ended with "Fun Home" and "Blankets," and how you do not shrink from showing some more adult panels, as well as adult subject matter story-wise. You have a wonderful presence and presentation, allowing us to see enough of the artwork to really appreciate it. Many thanks.

Really loved both parts of your essential list - great videos!

Awesome list. Been looking for more non-superhero recommendations as those are the stories I really like. A few I would recommend to you would be “Alec” by Eddie Campbell, “Cleveland” by Harvey Pekar, and “From Hell” by Alan Moore.

I have been bored by typical us comics about sup. heroes. I have been searching something fresh in this topic, and i found you. Your channel gives me what i have wanted from many years. New wide perspective about comics books. Thank you.

@space.pirate481 2 года назад

well are a lot of comics by jack Kirby not all about super heroes,his romance ,scifi so on,not to mention transmetropolitan series so on,you gotta search are a lot of comic books even from 40,50,60 which aren't all about super heroes

@matostivala 2 года назад

you nailed with Blankets! a delightful story to revisit from time to time.

@levitybooks3952 3 года назад

Pretty good list. Personally, I'd have inserted Adrian Tomine, Nick Drnaso, Daniel Clowes, Seth, or Charles Burns in place of Tamaki, but otherwise, I think I would have also picked all the others for they give a good range.

i'm thrilled that I finally found (someone and) a channel with the same tast as me in absolutely everything related to comics.

Such a nice and informative video - thank you! Just ordered Safe Area Gorazde because of this list :)

I love that you don’t just summarize the story but also explain what you love about it. I have been searching for recommendations forever for unique long graphic novels in this style. I got so excited when you said you were narrowing your selections down to these. THANK YOU ☺️

@jonbornholdt1790 4 года назад

Good list, but I'd certainly have included something by Charles Burns, either Black Hole or Last Look.

@BookBlather 3 года назад

Nice set of videos. Hadn’t heard of most of these.

Hey man! Of the whole list, I've only red Watchmen. Persepolis caught my attention. I really recommend El Eternauta (The Eternaut in english). It's an argentinian graphic novel. Some other graphic novels I liked: V for Vendetta, Transmetropolitan, Preacher, Crossed, The Boys.

Not a fan of colored pages huh? :)

@simorch6766 7 лет назад

I think you'd like Osamu Tezuka manga works, particularly Message to Adolf. I'd also recommend checking out Vagabond by Takehiko Inoue, anything by Naoki Urasawa you never know where his story is going. Lastly I'd check out Bride's Story by Kaoru Mori. Her artwork is impressive.

Thanks for those Japanese recommendations!

@OhWaker 5 лет назад

I wonder how you would like the Sandman series by Neil Gaiman.

@dw2062 4 года назад

Great series

Changed my life.

@RenskevanderHeide 5 лет назад

Thanks, Stuart! You suggested two comics I didn’t read yet, so will do soon! (This one summer & Box office poisson) I think Hostage from Guy Delisle is also worth mentioning if you enjoyed these comics.
