Maybe the best - deeply emotional, but with surreal elements that graphic storytelling does so well. Also see "Tiny Giants," "Swallow Me Whole," and "Please Release."
Pop Gun WarPop Gun War by Farel Dalrymple

More surreal than some of the others, but just as literate and touching.
MetronomeMetronome by Veronique Tanaka
Buy new: $11.86 / Used from: $3.99
A visual rhythm as steady and regular as a clock's ticking, but a story of personal tumult.
WhateverWhatever by Karl Stevens
Buy new: $9.95 / Used from: $1.99
Almost a Feiffer for a new generation. Like a pointillist soap opera of twenty-somethings, this originally appeared as a not-quite-serial in Boston's best answer to the Village Voice.
Tails: Life in ProgressTails: Life in Progress by Ethan Young
Charming and personal, a twenty-something navigating choppy waters between childhood and independence.
Rent GirlRent Girl by Michelle Tea
Buy new: $18.21 / Used from: $9.77
A meandering sprawl through prostitution, drugs, strange girlfriends, and ... well I'm not sure I know, really. Bold, graphical art works well for the bold, graphic narration.
Persepolis Boxed SetPersepolis Boxed Set by Marjane Satrapi
Buy new: $17.09 / Used from: $11.40
A similar voice from the Arab world.

More personal and not as literary as some, it still adds to the genre.
