| A Contract With God by Will Eisner |
I've never been an avid comic reader but I have read and enjoyed some.
When I was growing up I used to enjoy reading comics like
Asterix ,
Tintin (well, the truth is I was never much of a Tintin fan) or Esther (my favourite when i was a kid), apart from the classics:
Zipi y Zape,
Mortadelo...
Mafalda and
Peanuts were more a collection of comic strips but I enjoyed them too.

| Maus by Art Spiegelman |
When I was a bit older a friend introduced me to
A Contract with God by Will Eisner and I discovered Graphic novels. There are plenty of those aimed at adult audiences to make it a true literary genre. Of those, I highly recommend
Maus by
Art Spiegelman and
Persepolis by
Marjane Satrapi.
Any way, Why am I telling you all this? Because The Observer has been running a Graphic Short Story Prize for the past five years and all of them are available on line. So, whether you love comics or not they are all worth a try, even if it's only to do some interesting reading in English. Go ahead and check them out, and tell me what you think!
