Next fall, I’ll be teaching a topics course called The Graphic Novel at the University of Maine (it’s ENG 429, if you’re going to be in Orono come September). I have my own ideas about what I’d like to include on the syllabus, but I’m going to throw this question out to the world as well: If you were teaching this course, what would be the 12 or 15 books you would absolutely have to teach?
