Pride of Baghdad was bought by one of my friends and he’s a big comic fan. He loved it, and what I saw I liked (come to think of it, I gotta borrow it next time I see him).

Think of the Lion King meets the comic world, with politics, violence and humans thrown in.

Good for girls who like cutesy animals too (or if they’re into LOLCATS)

Jared :
You should definitely re-read Bone. If you can find the one volume edition, that’s the best! It doesn’t feel like an epic to start but really builds up to it.

Three good ones.

I think Pride is a fantastic pick – I think I recommended it last Christmas as the perfect left-wing stocking stuffer – and I can’t believe I forgot about it on this list.

Sin City would definitely depend on the person – I like the self-contained storylines and the stylish art, but it wouldn’t appeal to everyone. But if someone liked the rain and blood from Watchmen, that’s the book for them…

Will need to reread Bone, I don’t think I ever got past book 1 (which is around here somewhere), but I remember, for a few people in college, that was the only comic on the shelf. Oddly popular with the non-geeks!

Good stuff! And thanks for the shout out!
