Here is the original article.
For people that don't want to click the author listed the following comics as books that have changed her life. It's actually an interesting read, but will list them anyway.
Personally I have read very few off them (Bold in the above quote), but it raised an interesting point, have their been and comics/graphic novels that after reading them it has in someway changed your life?
Only one I would say has had any impact on was was Transmetropolitan (and incidently I can't find a topic on this on here, if there is could someone link me before I start one
).
If you're not read it I would advise it, after reading it I started to take an interest in what is going on in the world around me, I became aware of how politics affects my life, how it affects others, and more aware of what was going on around the world in general.
Why? Because the book made me question things. I've sat back and bitched about the government before, commented on things that they're not done or should have done. But the book highlights a strong point, they only have that power because we gave them it, our apathy is the only thing that stops it changing.
I've not become a terrorist, or a free lance journalist using his "Chairleg of truth" to find out what's going on, but it has changed me in a sense that I decided to make myself more aware.
So yea, anyone got any other stories to share?
