Works Featured in the Graphic Canon

I found out about a three-volume anthology, The Graphic Canon, which takes parts of the literary canon and converts them to graphic-novel form. I haven't read the anthology, but I thought the collection of works featured could make a good reading list!
There are a few entries in here that aren't actually books (like the Native American myth and the musical piece by Hildegard von Bingen) and several of these entries are poems.
