I've just picked up a rather mad graphic novel called
Alice In Sunderland. I've not finished it yet but I can tell you this is one to look out for - a weird combination of history (of Britain and Sunderland), fantasy, and culture. There are bits of Shakespeare thrown in, a lot of Alice, and it's also beautifully illustrated. This has to be the oddest thing I've read since Sandman.
