My friend Susannah Mandel recommends the following comic books:

• Scott Mc Cloud: Understanding Comics; Reinventing Comics
• Alan Moore: V for Vendetta; Watchmen
• Grant Morrison: Doom Patrol (series); The Invisibles (current (?))
• Warren Ellis: Transmetropolitan (current series—also GNs)
• Neil Gaiman: Sandman; also the Death GNs: The High Cost of Living; The Time of Your Life
• Peter Milligan and Duncan Fegredo: Enigma
• Alison Bechdel: Dykes to Watch Out For

Ah! “GN” stands for “graphic novel”!
