My thrown down title for people who say graphic novels are for kids:

Pride of Baghdad by Brian K. Vaughn-

Makes me weep every time. It takes the story of the escape of a pride of lions from the zoo at the beginning of the Iraq War and reimagines the story from their point of view and through flashbacks of their former lives. If I taught in a high school, I'd totally buy a class set and make them read it. There are so many ways its been described before, I just think everyone should read it.
