Death: the High Cost of Living
Maybe "the Chuckling Whatsit" by Richard Sala?

Fables, maybe. Probably the Lucifer books as well. Not that I read either, but I know folks who liked a lot of your above list speaking highly of the mentioned books.

SiP ---> Summer Blonde (Adrian Tomine)
Sandman --> any Lucifer TPB (Mike Carey & others)
LXG ---> From Hell (Alan Moore / Eddie Campbell)
Donjon ---> Bone (Jeff Smith) (available in one huge volume or piecemeal) AND/OR any Fables TPB (Bill Willingham & others)

I never heard of Donjon before this - it looks cool!

From the Mark S. Nose-Bleed Seats:

Finder (Carla Speed McNeil)
Berlin: City of Stones (Jason Lutes)

A good place to do some browsing would be the now-defunct Artbomb (which is where I got the Berlin link from) - brief, informative GN reviews; huge database, organized by artist / writer AND genre; convenient Amazon links. It just went "offline" this past week, so it's still fresh, too.

Jar of Fools by Jason Lutes is good.

Peculia is okay, but it's just more like little stories stuck at the end of the main story.

Oh, has Nowhere by Debbie Drechsler been collected? I'd recommend that!

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 18 November 2004 18:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Fables, absolutely.

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 18 November 2004 18:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Also Courtney Crumrin (there are three trades, reading them in order helps but is not strictly necessary)

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 18 November 2004 18:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Agreed.

berlin is the most brilliant work of art/lit in the last ten years, its fucking amazing, and everyone needs to read it .
