M. DeMatteis This is my highest recommendation of all, since it's a coming-of-age novel much like Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn. Contract with God by Will Eisner Considered to be the first graphic novel (good to know your roots). Y, The Last Man by Brian K. Vaughan Haven't read this one yet, but I hear it's another classic of the genre. Here’s a couple you must add to your list (high-school reading, not grade school):
