We're heading into the dark and cold of winter after a year that can frankly get right into the bin and we need books to soothe us through the long, lonely nights. Graphic novels and the other kind. Here are my suggestions, please add your own.
This is so beautifully pencilled and the story so simple but really kind of profound.
More than fifty stories about witches from around the world. Banshees, crones and other beauties. The notes on story origins are brilliant. Get it for Halloween.
A classic comics/Trump quotes mash up that cheers me up almost, but not quite as much as Sarah Cooper's lip-synch videos. I can't bear the sound of his voice, but these comics pages take the sting out.
Classic feminist cartoons from Jacky Fleming. Full disclosure, she is my mate, and also I am married to a train driver, so that's a bit weird, but even if I didn't love her as a person, I would love this book. Very funny. Will warm your cockles and make you kill your children, practice witchcraft and become lesbians (probably).
Really touching book about Briggs' mum and dad. It's not actually my favourite drawing of his, but it is beautiful and sweet.
This is beautifully drawn and a tender tale of travel to Mexico and dealing with alcoholism. I loved this book.
I draw things, I write things, I spend a lot of time in a shed at the bottom of my garden
