Here’s Marguerite’s top 10 go-to comic book/graphic novel list:
“I love everything in this saga, one of my all time reference. On this list of 10 it may all be BDs by Jodorowsky and / or Moebius, so I will stop at just this one :D”
2 Urusei Yatsura / Lum – Rumiko Takahashi
“I love Rumiko Takahashi’s universe, her heroines are strong and sexy, and everything is crazy and touching in the same time.”
“This story is perfect, so well written, so touching, so amazingly illustrated, the feeling of a real sense of time and introspection.”
“The art of Sienkiewicz is breathtaking, it was a blast when I discovered it, so original, and of course the story!”
7 Le Photographe by Didier Lefèvre, Emmanuel Guibert and Frédéric Lemercier
“The clever way of integrating comics and photography, with a passionate story, and great art.”
8 20th Century Boys by Naoki Urasawa
“Excellent art, and, my god this is a page turner, such a good story.”
“I really love Daniel Clowes’ work and this story is, in my personal history, the most touching one.”
