I'm thinking of getting a comic book as a present to my friend, she's never ready any comics besides maybe Looney Tunes/ Mickey Mouse when she was very little. Superhero stuff do not appeal do her at all, so I'm looking for some recommendations. The only non-capeshit books I've read so far are Sandman, Lucifer, Maus, My friend Dahmer, The Flinstones and Signal to noise. I was thinking of getting her either Signal to noise or Mause, but I'm really not certain she will dig them.She's into Noir/ Thriller / Crime movies and books mostly. Would Beautiful Darkness be a good gift for someone that does not read comics at all, I saw it being mentioned somewhere ?
>Superhero stuff do not appeal do her at all Smart kid.
Beautiful Darkness is brilliant. It's not very dense either so I'd say its a good book for a non-comic reader.
Blacksad is a great noir/crime comic. Sandman Mystery theater might also be up her alley.

Why not go with Richard Stark's Parker by Darwyn Cooke. There are four books in total for it as well. Plus it's right in the genres she's interested in.
Richard Stark's Parker Vol. 1: The Hunter
Aiden Brown
Thanks a lot fellas! So far I'm considering Beautiful Darkness or Richard Stark's Parker .
Has anyone read Last Days of an Immortal by any chance though, it seemed like it had an interesting premise. Part cerebral, part crime story which sounds intriguing.
Julian Sullivan
reading this right now and it's fantastic. Actually seems to get general relativity pretty decently well, enough that I'm not screaming at it like I was at interstellar. pretty great anti-hero characters too
Levi Hill
Azimut for the art alone, but i am no sure if it is translated in English
Robert Russell
Sadly, I was unable to find a website where I can order it from translated in English

>She's into Noir/ Thriller / Crime movies and books mostly. Hellboy or The Goon (specifically The Chained Coffin tpb or Chinatown, respectively).
Lincoln Carter
>Beautiful Darkness if you're going down the Kerasocet road maybe go with Miss Don't Touch Me
it's Crime/Mystery, has more of a story to it
Lincoln Bell
Really? I read the first volume and the situations as well as the characters were sort of rushed. LIke the author was cramming everything he could in 50+ pages.

Blacksad, Miss don't touch me, Kane and XIII come to mind.
There's also Largo Winch, though that's basically french heterosexual Batman dressed up as a thriller.
Bentley Flores
I can't recommend this enough
Lucas Richardson
Offer her this, it's litterally chad Tintin.

It was a bit rushed with the setting maybe, but I felt it worked. The characters were well enough established by the end of the first book, which is pretty impressive for 60 pages

His last trilogy blows Nikopol out of the water so fucking hard.

Yes, just going for something apart from The click

The Golden Ass is his best work, IMO. It's still rude AF, but not as crude as The Evil Pope.
Aaron Williams
which one? I have read some of Animal'z in Heavy Metal and liked that but Jullette and Rom fucking lost me hard. Too much Shakespearian references for me. I'm one of those that think's Shakespear is way too over rated

Random names. I'm not really into whodunit so some of them are a bit of a stretch for the genres.

the only problem with Parker is the crushing sadness knowing that there will only be four

there was a storytime. it was really good
Camden Thomas
I can beat that. Lastman has 10 tomes but only 6 has official translations and the chance the rest will get translated is miniscule at best.
Thomas Price
Really? Do you have a link? Never read a comic quite like beautiful darkness.
