Im looking for graphic novels that are worth rereading in the future. Sadly most lists are flooded by feminist or superhero themes, which i'm just not interested in.

Not a graphic novel but read this chapters. It's about a smart, powerful, amoral man and his decision to kill himself.

*these chapters.
From 137 to the end

Read "We did it!", pretty great. Then try Punpun if you want YA suffering wrote in a decent way but still masturbatory as hell.
Nathan Parker
Try early Jeff Lemire

>YA suffering wrote in a decent way but still masturbatory as hell.
The weirdest description of punpun I've ever read.

Is 'graphic novel' just a clean name for comics? Anyway, I love the works of 'Jason', his best one would be 'Hey wait'. It's quite easy to read online or download for free and takes 10 minutes to read.
Joseph Murphy
Read Nobuyuki Fukumoto's masterpiece
Legend of the Strongest Man, Kurosawa
Luke Scott
I guess a 'graphic novel' is something with more o a over-arching story than just monster/villain of the week.
Bentley Collins
Dan Clowes
Charles Burns
Chris Ware
Craig Thompson
Jeffrey Brown's early & autobio work
Lynda Barry
The Hernandez Bros.
Check out Fantagraphics and Pantheon

Paul Kirchner is a god.
Jim Woodring is a god, too.
Jason, the Norwegian guy, is kino.
Jodorowsky and Moebius are kino, as well.
Charles Burn and Daniel Clowes are interesting.
Lincoln Wilson
Sergio Toppi - Sharaz-de (adaptation of "1001 Night", with legit spectacular art reminiscent of Klimt and Schiele)
>Jodorowsky and Moebius are kino
Do people really find Jodo's writing for comics good? To me it looks like incoherent hippie bullshit with badly composed stories and self-insert characters. (I read Incal and Sacred Heart)

Came here to post these. Fukumoto is a legend.
(also, to the first user, do yourself a favor and start using mangadex)
I strongly recommend Achewood. There's not much of a narrative to it outside of story arcs and continuity you'd expect from a slice-of-life comic but it's a very entertaining read.
Gavin Rodriguez
only yesterday by the same author
Wyatt Green
harvey pekar for that good 80s "zero ending" shit
Jose Wood
Yoshihiro Tatsumi is an interesting read. Full of angst and urban alienation.
Excellent taste user. Jason is one of those rare artists who can claim mastery of his form, similar to Herge. His composition is unparalleled by anything I've ever read.

Niel Hainan's Sandman is very good. Very creative world building, stories, and characters. The artwork is also some of the best I've ever seen.
Give it a couple of issues to pick up steam and you'll be in for a treat.
Liam Campbell
>Niel Hainan's
Well, I fucked that up.
Neil Gaiman.
William Richardson
I think once he(Morpheus) got to hell it gets good
Liam Hill
I can't imagine more antihippie person than Jodo.
Isaiah Turner
come on, you get what I mean, all that stuff about drugs, mental transcendence of this and that, sexual liberation...
Ryder Gonzalez

Ethan Martin
all of that is standard stuff for european comics. for example, Blueberry, which is cowboy comic, is full of that or Italian Bonelli Comics, their most popular heroes have segments and themes like those.
John Morales
To a significantly smaller degree than Jodo. Besides, the fact that it was commonplace doesn't negate its connection with the hippie movement.

I like the collections by Yoshihiro Tatsumi. Short bleak stories from a society in a violent flux.
Daniel Edwards
Read The Caste of Metabarons, The Technopriests and Bouncer. Absolutely kino.
Kayden Harris
>Metabarons
Can confirm
btw would it be pathetic to buy erotic comics? I mean even with the internet I've never found any picture or video as arousing as a drawing by Manara for instance. It also has the 'artistic' pretext so it's ok in a library.
Anthony Garcia
I'll lurk in this thread, I don't have any rec to give.
Yea Forums is a cesspool
Graphic novels are fine. Actually planning on writing and drawing a standalone comic for my own entertainment.
Go for it, I once downloaded an archive with her comics in it. Honestly it's worth it for the art itself. Too bad good comic artists are getting rarer.

Cerebus the Aardvark, if you appreciate the medium. Biggest independent comic in its age, sometimes experimental, pays hommage to classic comics, strays into insufferable philosophical babble later, but an interesting read.
Hunter Foster
Anything by Will Eisner or Jeff Lemire tbqh.
Tyler Rogers
Read The Borgias by Manara and Jodo. Perfect erotic/story balance.
Jeremiah Cooper
Why do you make a distinction between feminism and the superhero fantasy?
Michael Myers
Bumping just because what you posted looks interesting.
Dylan Morales
I enjoyed Wolfsmund, it's got fantastic castle sieges. I also prefer the Oldboy comic to the movies.
Velvet Kiss is alright, fairly degenerate though.
Connor Clark
is it worth all that money and space?
Landon Sanchez
Are they supposed to be significantly better or different from those two comics that I have read?
Taniguchi is really good, yeah. The comic in OP basically has no story, it's like ambient music in comic form. But my favourite of his is A Distant Neighbourhood.
Hunter Scott
There was one I loved whose name escapes me. It was a graphic novel wherein the main character dies at numerous critical points in his life. I found it to be quite touching.
Carson Rivera
Maus. For a classic, A Contract With God.
