    A few graphic novels have eased thier way to the local library, I've read 4 of "The Authority" and wondered if anyone had any views on The Authority or could recommend any good mature graphic novels ?

    Mature graphic novels? Have no idea what 'The Authority' is (subject-matter?), but for a non-childrens book, would recommend a few of Neil Gaiman's SANDMAN series (though some of his books bored me, others were brilliant). And the CEREBUS series, but that's a tough one, as it MUST be read chronologically beginning-to-end, and is over 2,500-pages in length.

    The Authority are a super hero gang...but there is alot more violence than say superman etc. Plus
    2 characters are gay.

    I've read some sandman, used to like V for Vendetta from the now defunked mag Warrior.

    Will look out for the cerebus series.

    I would suggest 100 Bullets and Y The Last Man from Vertigo as well as The Walking Dead from Image and 30 Days of Night from IDN

    Had a look around library ... no Cerebus [img]frown.gif[/img]

    but got Y last man - "unmanned book 1"
    Y last man - "one small step book 3"
    looking like a "survivors" type story line,
    art not to good, but story seems ok so far.

    Also got 100 bullets "A foregone tomorrow"

    Will let you know when I've worked through them [img]smile.gif[/img]
    thanks for the feed back.
