100 Must-Read Graphic Memoirs (Book Riot)

"There's a scene in Locke and Key by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez where one character opens another's head and looks around–literally. That's what I imagine graphic memoirs doing. I can only live one life, but with their combination of prose and art, graphic memoirs let me see what life is like for someone else in a new, deeper way and on a range of topics and places of origin, from growing up in a country in revolution to living with mental illness to coping with tragic loss. So take a peek. Here are some must-read graphic memoirs." - Gina Nicoll on Book Riot
This quote describes exactly why I love graphic memoirs so much. How many have you read?
