Recs if you like The Arrival...

I have spent years curating a list of graphic novels for myself on goodreads and I thought this place would be great to share it and share my love for graphic novels. I’m not picky about the plot or topics of the graphic novels I read so the list is pretty much any graphic novel I have heard of regardless of topic. Many are middle grade or young adult as is the general trend of the format but recommendations for more (especially adult) would be greatly appreciated.

Also manga is not included.

weird, unsettling, dreamlike books for those bored of kafka recs

Graphic novels that tell stories without using any words.

And so, my dearest bookish beans! This is a curated and ever-growing list of books that I strongly believe, in my very personal and biased opinion, everyone should read/listen to at least once in their lifetime for one reason or another :) Mandatory reading for a better, kinder and happier world!
