suggest me some graphic novels.

Fun fact: Beyond Time and Again by George Metzger used the phrase "graphic novel" something like two years before Eisner did A Contract With God.

Being as I am ignorant of the history of such things, I figured something like this would come up. You will note I was careful never to say that it absolutely was the first graphic novel ever, but that "people say" or "it is considered."

I actually just learned about its existence on Wednesday, so that was me eager to mention it. I prefaced it with "fun fact" in an attempt to NOT look like a jerk, but now I read what I wrote and it just looks like a big pile of sarcasm. Damn it!
I am trying to teach myself about comics history, but at the moment my knowledge of it is patchier than... (an extremely patchy thing).

Okay forums, I have a favor to ask.
I currently have $60 in gift cards for Borders, and since Borders is Amazon with just books, cds, and dvds, I was thinking of getting a bunch of comics.
So, I could get the entirety of Love and Rockets Palomar and the Maggie/Hopey stories, I get more Sandman starting at five, more Fables starting at four, get caught up with The Walking Dead, or start Preacher, Transmetropolitan, or the Invisibles. There are so many choices to make. Should I get a mix? Help me, forums! Please?
De_El:
I identify with your indecision. Haven't read Preacher, so I couldn't argue with that, but I'd say Fables.
