Graphic Novels

I like to consider myself a graphic novel advocate. I see literary merit in a lot of graphic novels. So, about once a week I'll be sharing some graphic novel I find worthwhile with you. Please feel free to share your thoughts (and especially suggestions for similar graphic novels!) in the comments.

Redwall the Graphic Novel
By Brain Jacques; adapted by Stuart Moore

I quickly read the traditional novel and six other Redwall books immediately after this graphic novel. (It's actually the way I'm most likely to recommend this one.) The art is absolutely amazing. There's this incredible attention to detail. Each panel is like an individual work of art.
