Graphic Novels for Girls (ages 18 and above)
Graphic novels girls will want to read!
Looking for graphic novels for girls? Your search ends here! I know how it is to feel alienated by graphic novels written for a male-dominated market so I made a list of graphic novels for female readers, all of which I've personally read and enjoyed and in my opinon will easily convert any girl into an instant comic book fan. Please take note that most of the books I mentioned deal with relationship-centric topics and adult issues. Recommended for girls from ages 18 and above. Featured illus...

X-Men's Dark Phoenix Saga: A Marvel Comic Book Review
X-Men's Dark Phoenix Saga: A Marvel Comics Classic from the Early 1980s!
X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga collects issues No. 129-137 of the original X-Men comic-book series, a series of tales that ends with the final battle over Jean Grey's existence as the Phoenix. Or at least that's how it was when the comics were published in the early 1980s. Later stories would undercut the impact of this classic tale, but it's still one of the best that Marvel Comics has ever produced.

The X-Men in the Early 1970s: Neal Adams' Dynamic Art
Marvel Essential Classic X-Men Volume 3: The End of the X-Men, plus Neal Adams, Hulk, Spider-Man and
Marvel Essential Classic X-Men volume 3 is a real hodge-podge of stories that shows just how far below the radar screen the original X-Men had fallen in the early 1970s. The X-Men series, which had debuted in 1963, was Marvel Comics' poorest-selling title in March 1969 and was on the verge of cancellation when the first stories in this volume were published. Great Neal Adams art failed to save the title, and new stories ended in March 1970. The team then cast about fairly aimlessly, appearing...

The All-New, All-Different X-Men: A Team Reborn in the 1970s!
Marvel Masterworks: The Uncanny X-Men Vol. 1 highlights the rebirth of the team in 1975-1976, reprinting Giant-Size X-Men No. 1 and X-Men No. 94-100. Promoted as the ``All-New, All-Different'' X-Men, the drab comic-book series was revitalized when writer Len Wein and artist Dave Cockrum introduced four new heroes and added two characters that had debuted earlier.
