Since mrp mentioned Safe Area Gorazde, I'd also recommend Sacco's The Fixer and War's End, which also deal with the Bosnian war and its aftermath. And in that vein (i.e., the pleasant topics of recent wars/genocide), another disturbing but also moving book is J.P. Stassen's Deogratias: A Tale of Rwanda. On a lighter note, I highly recommend pretty much anything by French writer/artist Joann Sfar, but in particular The Rabbi's Cat (two volumes), The Professor's Daughter, Vampire Loves and the Little Vampire books. An excellent fantasy/adventure is The Quest for the Time Bird by Serge Le Tendre and Regis Loisel. I'll probably remember some other stuff later... I've not read those books by Sacco, but I have read Palestine and the collection of some of his shorter stuff titled Journalism and would easily recommend either as well. -M |

Yep, as soon as I hit "post," I remembered two more:
- Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, as well as the similarly themed Embroideries and Chicken with Plums.
- Trevor von Eeden's Original Johnson (in two volumes; it's sort of a biography of early 20th heavyweight boxer Jack Johnson - I say 'sort of' because some aspects of the story are fictionalized).

The Marquis is a very interesting (and disturbing) fantasy horror series written and drawn by Guy Davis. Sadly, I read that the series will probably never be finished, but there is a pretty big TPB collection and a great short story in one of the Myspace Dark Horse Presents collections.
The beginning of the TPB collection, with the Misere being chased by the soldiers, is one of the best sequences I've ever seen in a comic.
