]]> Comment on Book Business: Picture This: Graphic novels draw in reluctant readers by Jeremy Wyatt http://www.alan-ya.org/2009/07/book-business-picture-this-graphic-novels-draw-in-reluctant-readers/comment-page-1/#comment-49 Jeremy Wyatt Sun, 19 Jul 2009 06:48:48 +0000 http://www.alan-ya.org/?p=306#comment-49 Here's a couple you must add to your list (high-school reading, not grade school): The Compleat Moonshadow by J. 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):
