Here is a list of our favourite graphic novels and comics, and we promise you will be totally wowed by them.<\/p>\n<h2>Our favourite graphic novels of all-time<\/h2>\n<h3>Infidel by Pornsak Pichetshote<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_162532\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-162532\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-162532 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/12\/Infidel-by-Pornsak-Pichetshote-graphic-novels-recommendations-e1544493600855.jpg\" alt=\"Infidel by Pornsak Pichetshote graphic novels recommendations\" width=\"260\" height=\"400\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 260px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 260\/400;\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-162532\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Infidel by Pornsak Pichetshote\u00a0(Credit: Happy Harbor Comics via Facebook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Situated in a building haunted by xenophobic entities, Infidel follows the supernatural incidents that happen to an American Muslim woman and her multi-racial neighbours. The book uses graphic imagery to portray the worst of racism, and as told by one of the characters in the book, \u201cracism&#8217;s a cancer that doesn&#8217;t get cured\u201d. Named for NPR&#8217;s 100 Favourite Horror Stories of All Time, it\u2019s definitely one of our favourite graphic novels of 2018.<\/p>\n<h3>Drinking at the Movies by Julia Wertz<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_162531\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-162531\" style=\"width: 285px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-162531 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/12\/Drinking-at-the-Movies-by-Julia-Wertz-graphic-novels-recommendations.jpg\" alt=\"Drinking at the Movies by Julia Wertz graphic novels recommendations\" width=\"285\" height=\"400\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/12\/Drinking-at-the-Movies-by-Julia-Wertz-graphic-novels-recommendations.jpg 285w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/12\/Drinking-at-the-Movies-by-Julia-Wertz-graphic-novels-recommendations.jpg 214w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 285px) 100vw, 285px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 285px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 285\/400;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-162531\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Drinking at the Movies by Julia Wertz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Documenting Julia Wertz&#8217;s own journey in Brooklyn, New York, Drinking at the Movies is all about self-deprecating humor and the fucked-up whisky-soaked life of a twenty-something that refuses (but is forced) to be a grown up. It\u2019s one of those honest graphic novels that makes you laugh from beginning to end. We\u2019re also big fans of the other autobiographical graphic novels &#8211; The Fart Party Vols. 1 and 2 &#8211; created by Wertz.<\/p>\n<h3>Megg &amp; Mogg in Amsterdam: And Other Stories by Simon Hanselmann<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_149042\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-149042\" style=\"width: 285px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-149042 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/02\/Megg-Mogg-in-Amsterdam-and-Other-Stories-Simon-Hanselmann-Best-graphic-novels-comicsgraphic-novels-cartoonist-art.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"285\" height=\"400\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/02\/Megg-Mogg-in-Amsterdam-and-Other-Stories-Simon-Hanselmann-Best-graphic-novels-comicsgraphic-novels-cartoonist-art.png 285w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/02\/Megg-Mogg-in-Amsterdam-and-Other-Stories-Simon-Hanselmann-Best-graphic-novels-comicsgraphic-novels-cartoonist-art.png 214w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 285px) 100vw, 285px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 285px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 285\/400;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-149042\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Megg &amp; Mogg in Amsterdam by Simon Hanselmann (Credit: Fantagraphics Books Inc. via Facebook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The main characters \u2013 Megg the witch, Mogg the black cat, Owl and Werewolf Jones \u2013 lack decent humanity and ambition in life, all they do is live on weed and mess up other people\u2019s lives. The Megg, Mogg and Owl series touches upon issues like depression, anxiety, drug use, sexuality and poverty. This dark comedy is a re-imagination of children&#8217;s book Meg and Mog, and it&#8217;s definitely one of my favourites.<\/p>\n<h3>MAUS by Art Spiegelman<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_149041\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-149041\" style=\"width: 291px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-149041 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/02\/MAUS-Art-Spiegelman-Best-graphic-novels-comicsgraphic-novels-cartoonist-art.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"291\" height=\"400\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/02\/MAUS-Art-Spiegelman-Best-graphic-novels-comicsgraphic-novels-cartoonist-art.jpg 291w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/02\/MAUS-Art-Spiegelman-Best-graphic-novels-comicsgraphic-novels-cartoonist-art.jpg 218w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 291px) 100vw, 291px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 291px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 291\/400;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-149041\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">MAUS by Art Spiegelman (Credit: Art Spiegelman via Facebook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>MAUS illustrates the details that Spiegelman received after interviewing his father about his terrifying experiences as a Polish Jew and Holocaust survivor. The comics use animals to symbolise different ethnicities \u2013 in which Jews are drawn as mice, Germans as cats, and Poles as pigs. It gives readers a better understanding of what happened in Auschwitz with delicate illustrations and a strong narrative.<\/p>\n<h3>Black Hole by Charles Burns<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_149043\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-149043\" style=\"width: 296px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-149043 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/02\/Black-Hole-Charles-Burns-Best-graphic-novels-comicsgraphic-novels-cartoonist-art.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"400\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/02\/Black-Hole-Charles-Burns-Best-graphic-novels-comicsgraphic-novels-cartoonist-art.jpg 296w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/02\/Black-Hole-Charles-Burns-Best-graphic-novels-comicsgraphic-novels-cartoonist-art.jpg 222w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 296px) 100vw, 296px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 296px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 296\/400;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-149043\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Black Hole is a 368-page-long dark and psychedelic trip (Credit: Fantagraphics Books Inc. via Facebook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Charles Burns is most known for his surrealist drawing style. The story is set in the mid-70s, where reckless depressive teenagers are conceiving a horrendous sexually transmitted disease that can grow out of your skin. It\u2019s for anyone that\u2019s down for a gloomy exploration of human nature.<\/p>\n<h3>Fun Home by Alison Bechdel<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_149039\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-149039\" style=\"width: 267px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-149039 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/02\/Fun-Home-Alison-Bechdel-Best-graphic-novels-comicsgraphic-novels-cartoonist-art.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"267\" height=\"400\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/02\/Fun-Home-Alison-Bechdel-Best-graphic-novels-comicsgraphic-novels-cartoonist-art.jpg 267w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/02\/Fun-Home-Alison-Bechdel-Best-graphic-novels-comicsgraphic-novels-cartoonist-art.jpg 200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 267px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 267\/400;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-149039\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fun Home depicts LGBTQ-related issues in a very emotional and heartfelt way (Credit: Comic Book Fever by George Khoury via Facebook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Fun Home is a heart-wrenching memoir about the relationship between a lesbian daughter and a closeted gay dad. Bechdel shares with us her childhood as a lesbian figuring out her sexuality, while noticing her homosexual father\u2019s not-so-subtle flirtation with younger boys. It\u2019s a story about growing up in a literary yet dysfunctional household, and it\u2019s definitely a must-read for fans of literatures, graphic novels, or LGBTQ+ issues. <\/p>\n<h3>Patience by Daniel Clowes<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_149044\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-149044\" style=\"width: 308px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-149044 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/02\/Patience-Daniel-Clowes-Best-graphic-novels-comicsgraphic-novels-cartoonist-art.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"308\" height=\"400\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/02\/Patience-Daniel-Clowes-Best-graphic-novels-comicsgraphic-novels-cartoonist-art.jpg 308w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/02\/Patience-Daniel-Clowes-Best-graphic-novels-comicsgraphic-novels-cartoonist-art.jpg 231w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 308px) 100vw, 308px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 308px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 308\/400;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-149044\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Patience incorporates bright colours and thick lines to create a surrealistic sci-fi imagery (Credit: Fantagraphics Books Inc. via Facebook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Patience is an exciting science-fiction love story about a man going on multiple time travels after he finds his pregnant wife, Patience, killed in their apartment.

Often being mistaken as a butch lesbian or described as un-ladylike, Prince ridicules society\u2019s absurd gender stereotypes with humor and jokes. Personally, I\u2019m a big fan of all her hilarious yet light-hearted drawings. <\/p>\n<h3>My Friend Dahmer by Derf Backderf<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_149038\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-149038\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-149038 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/02\/My-Friend-Dahmer-Derf-Backderf-Best-graphic-novels-comicsgraphic-novels-cartoonist-art.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"260\" height=\"400\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/02\/My-Friend-Dahmer-Derf-Backderf-Best-graphic-novels-comicsgraphic-novels-cartoonist-art.jpg 260w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/02\/My-Friend-Dahmer-Derf-Backderf-Best-graphic-novels-comicsgraphic-novels-cartoonist-art.jpg 195w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 260px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 260\/400;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-149038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My Friend Dahmer is a national bestseller, also named a BEST OF 2012 by Times (Credit: My Friend Dahmer via Facebook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Cartoonist Derf Backderf brings us back to the time when he went to school with the notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, who raped, murdered and dismembered 17 known victims.
