  if she likes everything from neil gaiman to craig thompson, it sounds like she'll like just about anything you get her.

    Yeah, I suppose that selection of authors really only suggested that she likes graphic novels in general. Ah well, I'm sure I'll find something.
    ^__^
    
    I was just hoping somebody had just found something new they thought was super-awesome.

      The "Maus" books are phenomenal. Joe Matt's "Peepshow" is hilarious. I recently read Chester Brown's "I Never Liked You" and was both laughing and moved.
      
      I guess those are all pretty old, though...

        It is very hard to go wrong with one of Edward Gorey's anthologies, like Amphigorey. Not precisely a graphic novel, but marvelous nonetheless.

          Has anyone else read this book? What did people think?
          
          I haven't read it yet, but the people I know who have seem rather lukewarm about it -- but they all seem to have *wanted* to love it, which is an interesting dynamic.
          
          I like Michelle Tea's writing, and I like the illustrator (her name escapes me), so I'd imagine I'd want to love it, as well.
          
          Any thoughts?

            hello - new here - unsure if this has been mentioned elsewhere but Kid Koala's "Nufonia Must Fall" novel w/ cd would be an interesting gift for anyone, more so if she works in an office and lives in a city...or likes Kid Koala...check the link for a flash trailer
