Graphic novels:
Various: Graphic Classics: Adventure Classics.
Various: Project Romantica: An Anthology Dedicated to Love and Love Stuff
(Not to be confused with Junjo Romantica, although I keep mixing the titles up in my head. It's an anthology of more-or-less romance-themed shorts by a variety ofcartoonists 'scuse me, artists (in my head, "cartoonist" is a good thing, but someone's bound to get tetchy). Nothing blew me away, but I particularly liked the pieces by Scott Morse, Rian Hughes, and Alberto Ruiz for their moody, stunning art--I really love Hughes' retro style thing, I've got to keep an eye out for work by him--and Debbie Huey's and Joel Priddy's for the clever, cartoony humor. It's a strong anthology, without a single bad piece. Plus, it has an entry from Mizuno Junko, her usual bizarre-but-compelling fare).
Jason: The Left Bank Gang
(Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, James Joyce and F. Scott Fitzgerald (and Zelda) as struggling cartoonists who decide to rob a gambling den in 1920's Paris. As per Jason's usual style, everybody is an animal of some kind. You cannot dream up crack this good on your own).
Busiek, Kurt, author, David Wenzel, artist: The Wizard's Tale
(cute, but for the love of god, if text is meant to be functional and not decorative, don't use those fucking fancy fonts! This took me much longer to read than it should have because of the shmancey, hard-to-read decorative font; I almost gave up entirely).
