I re-read V For Vendetta recently, and am wondering if it should not swap places with The Crow or even Watchmen in my list. Apart from Maus, it's the only graphic novel to make me cry consistently, and the artwork is better than Watchmen, but Watchmen probably has a better plot (though it's all rather relative) taking into account all the comic within a comic stuff and whatnot. All Moore's stuff is categorically genius though.

Also, shit.

SHIT.

If I'm going to do a top five, I've gotta boot off Maus because I somehow forgot about The Ballad of Halo Jones. Now that is what I call awesome. It does feel kinda fanboyish having three Alan Moores in my top five though...okay ten.

1. Akira
2. Watchmen
3. V For Vendetta
4. The Crow
5. Maus
6. The Ballad of Halo Jones
7. Hellsing
8. The Invisibles
9. Ghost in the Shell
10. Luther Arkwright

I'm going by "graphic novels" meaning one-off stuff like Watchmen etc, not X-men or ongoing comics and things.

I'm going to have to say that Daniel Clowes is my favourite graphic novel author. 'David Boring' is such a mundane, curious, beautiful story. I love it. 'Ghost World' is much better than the film, too (although the film is still quite good). Yeah.

Lise:
Hm, the only "Indie" graphics novels I own were given as gifts from friends or in Cody's books comic shelves http://www.codysbooks.com.

My favorites (in no particular order):

1) Blankets by Craig Thompson
2) Goodbye Chunky Rice (same author)
3) Flight Comics Vol. 1 (haven't read the 2nd or 3rd)
4) The Nine http://www.whoarethenine.com
5) Runaways by Marvel

P.S. I know this isn't a graphic novel, but Twisted Toyfare was just hilarious. Robot Chicken was based off of that series.
