u/albertogonzalex · 2 pointsr/cycling

I can't add much that hasn't already been said - but, I thought you might be encouraged by a few stories that I've enjoyed.

you & a bike & the road by Eleanor Davis is a nice graphic novel written and illustrated by Eleanor about her mini tour across part of America.
https://www.amazon.com/You-Bike-Road-Eleanor-Davis/dp/1927668409

And, i find everything about Lael Wilcox to be inspiring. Few things make me want to ride a bike like hearing about her rides and listening to her interviews. She's really amazing!
https://youtu.be/qqigzj97Vpo

I do hope you take the cross country ride and I hope it is super fun, safe, and everything you want it to be!

u/foxesinsoxes · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Hiii I’m a girl comic book lover!! I have some suggestions for ones that are fantastic but maybe things she hasn’t read.

This is created by a singer I love named Lights. It corresponds with her last album (also called Skin and Earth) so if your date likes music as well, extra bonus points!!

This is Snotgirl . It’s written by a well known comic writer. It’s SO funny, beautiful drawn, and has a mystery to it!

u/leftycartoons · 3 pointsr/graphicnovels

Lulu Anew. A really excellent, very realistic graphic novel about a French woman experiencing mid-life doubts. Beautiful drawings, too.

I'm sort of amazed no one's mentioned Jaime Hernandez. His comics very occasionally have elements of fantasy and sci-fi, but they're basically realistic present-day fiction, and I think he's the best cartoonist working today. The Death of Speedy is a good place to start, showing Jaime at his full powers (and at his most realistic), and (at least in the US) is available cheaply used. If you'd prefer to start at the beginning, check out Maggie the Mechanic.

[This One Summer] (http://www.amazon.com/This-One-Summer-Mariko-Tamaki/dp/159643774X/) was marketed as a young adult novel, but is an amazing read for adults as well. A very realistic coming-of-age story about two young girls on summer vacation.

Maus by Art Spiegleman, of course.

To The Heart of the Storm, by Will Eisner. IMO this is the best of Eisner's novels, showing a young man's trip to army training during WW2, as he reflects on his life and his parents' lives.

Stuck Rubber Baby by Howard Cruse. This semi-autobiographical graphic novel, about a closeted young gay man in the civil rights era south, is simply incredible- it's a crime that it got so little attention. At least in the US, available very cheaply used.

It's a Good Life If You Don't Weaken, by Seth.

Footnotes in Gaza, by Joe Sacco. (This one is non-fiction.)

Human Diastrophism, by Gilbert Hernandez.

Song of Roland, by Michel Rabagliati. If you like this one, there are a bunch of other Rabagliati graphic novels available in English.

Tamara Drewe, by Posy Simmonds.

Notes for a War Story, by Gipi. Very smart, very realistic graphic novel about young men in a Balkins nation that has collapsed.
Another one that is available very cheaply used. Also look for Gipi's graphic novel "Garage Band," which is about exactly what the title says, and also available very cheaply.

u/KibaKiba · 4 pointsr/graphicnovels

Giant Days: Just a damn fun slice of life series about a couple of British girls going through college. Made by the people that made the webcomic Scary-Go-Round. Through all of the superheroics and dramas that are out there, it's just a refreshing break. The stories are relate-able even when they're exaggerated, the characters are all super charming and it just feels good to read.

New 52 Harley Quinn: More super heroics but I would also call this another refreshing break from it all since it requires almost no pre-knowledge of DC events going on and are more focused on comedy. Conner and Palmiotti's art is always on point and I think this is really the height of Harley's character growth and it hasn't gone backwards yet cause it's been so strong. I've got all 5 volumes and I'd say they're definitely worth it.

Honorable mentions go to Sex Criminals, Wicked+Divine, and Spider-Verse. I haven't read them, but they always get talked about online and by people I know personally so they're probably worth a look.

u/[deleted] · 2 pointsr/Mommit

Ugh ugh ugh sounds like you're in a tough spot with the conservative community where you live. I don't have any advice, but want to offer you big hugs and welcome to all the groups. I really like r/parenting too (it's mostly geared toward parenting older kids but it's a really great community imho).

Also, you might enjoy reading this memoir for a little solidarity with what you went through while you were pregnant.

u/xcarex · 1 pointr/askwomenadvice

Definitely show her the dress before buying it! Even if she's not a super-picky bride, it's still important to get the go-ahead before spending money. She may have something more specific in mind that she doesn't realize until she sees it.

And it would be lovely to send a little gift. Gift cards are the easiest if you live in different countries. Or maybe get her a wedding book, if there's something you think she might like. I have bought this graphic novel for a few brides in my life, because I loved it so much when I was planning my own wedding.

u/laumby · 1 pointr/femalefashionadvice

Who's got book recommendations? Here are mine:

  • I recently read Today is the Last Day of the Rest of Your Life by Ulli Lust and it was AMAZING! It's a graphic novel/memoir (which there seem to be a lot of lately and I love it because it combines two of my favorite things) about the author's time as a young adult traveling around Italy in the 80s. It starts with her and her friend turning tricks to raise money for the trip and gets crazier from there. A lot of it was about her dealing with the fact that men are only interested in her to sleep with her, and her disillusionment with the punk/runaway society she makes herself part of.
  • I also read Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls, David Sedaris's new book, and it was good. I laughed. BUT it didn't recapture the hilarity I felt reading Me Talk Pretty One Day or Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim. But still, I recommend it if you like Sedaris.
  • And I just started reading The Feminine Mystique but I haven't gotten into the actual book yet because there are like 4 introductions. I'm excited to read it, though.
u/Tigertemprr · 0 pointsr/comicbooks

All Ages (age ratings sourced from Comixology)

u/SmallFruitbat · 3 pointsr/YAwriters

These Broken Stars was actually one of the sci-fi novels I finished recently. It was definitely one of those books I picked up solely because there was a pretty dress involved. It was OK and it stood on its own well enough, but I really was not inspired to read This Shattered World afterwards, even though it was sitting right there. Also read Willful Child (adult sci-fi) and had some problems with it.

The most recent graphic novels have been Fun Home (deliberately gothic), Relish: My Life in the Kitchen (a little hard to relate to, and I liked it much more when she was talking about anything other than food), and Little Fish (which seems like a good follow-up to Fangirl, though this particular college freshman focused on LiveJournal and art school rather than fanfiction and creative writing). Next up is Skim. I already know I like that author duo, but the art is very different from This One Summer and it's a little off-putting.

u/lpjunior999 · 6 pointsr/comicbooks

My kid is absolutely bonkers for Smile, as are most kids in the early grades. It won an Eisner so it's apparently very good.

Also I highly recommend Jem and the Holograms. The first issue was free on Google Play and my kid practically begged me for the rest of the series.

Plus others have mentioned Adventure Time comics, I think there was a Marceline and Princess Bubblegum mini a while back.

u/salathudin · 3 pointsr/childfree

I have to recommend Not Funny Ha Ha by Leah Hayes, for women who are considering or have decided on an abortion, for the people around them, and ... well, it's just good reading anyway. It's a graphical novel version of what you wrote, one in-clinic and one at-home. Not much about the "is it right or wrong?" question. Just: this is what the experience is like.

u/kaleandpotatoes · 2 pointsr/Austin

unfortunately i don't have any i can donate at the moment, but here are some recs!


La Perdida by Jessica Abel--a girl who feels estranged form her Mexican heritage travels to mexico city

Love and Rockets by the Hernandez Bros--huge/awesome series that takes place in a fictional Mexican city/LA. Contains some explicit material but don't write it off because of that, its a masterpiece.

Chicanos by Carlos Trillo-- haven't read it, but heard good things. "short Mexican woman who follows her dream of becoming a private eye in the U.S. "

u/ChrisLeBeouf · 1 pointr/books

If you like Love and Rockets, check out La Perdida by Jessica Abel.

Also, Tricked by Alex Robinson.

u/kayjaykay · 3 pointsr/52book

My graphic novel update for the week: Finished Fun Home by Alison Bechdel - a memoir of growing up with her closeted gay dad and her own sexual awakening. I picked up Are You My Mother that is a memoir about Bechdel's mom but her mom isn't as much of an undertow as her father was.

I suppose I'm on a run of family-oriented memoir graphic novels because I'm in the middle of Special Exits by Joyce Farmer. This story chronicles the decline of the author's aging parents. My main take-away so far is: Never. Get. Old.

I also have a few career-oriented books and a couple about starting local economies. It's fruit season and so I've also been baking a lot - peach pie, blackberry blueberry tart, homemade bread... YEAH!

u/LEMullin · 1 pointr/eFreebies

Published this last month. Will be free for the next few days, til I publish my next graphic novel.

u/mikuooeeoo · 3 pointsr/weddingplanning

You should read "Something New: Tales of a Makeshift Bride" by Lucy Knisley even if you don't normally read comics (https://www.amazon.com/Something-New-Tales-Makeshift-Bride/dp/1626722498). She was in a very similar situation with her wedding, and I think reading about her experience will help you.

u/positronik · 5 pointsr/furry_irl

It's a real graphic novel. I haven't read it, but you can get it on [Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/My-Boyfriend-Bear-Pamela-Ribon/dp/1620104873)

u/LilianH · 5 pointsr/GenderCritical

That webcomic was made into a book released last year

u/coolbeaNs92 · 5 pointsr/buffy

Do you mean volume 1?

Because that's #1-4 of the BOOM run.
