Looking at pretty pictures may perhaps be the oldest human pastime – we’ve been doing it since prehistory! Ever since primitive humans stepped out of their caves and sighed at the beauty of the natural world, they attempted to replicate it on cave walls, preserving their fire-discovering, wheel-inventing stories for future generations. Thousands of years later, the graphic novelists took up the torch to do the exact same thing – like Michelangelo! The Sistine Chapel really is just a graphic novel adaptation of the Bible, after all. While watching humanity’s drama with God play out on the ceiling is certainly worth the trip, this list is for those who want to drink in stunning artwork without traveling to the Vatican. For all the homebodies, are the 10 most beautifully illustrated graphic novels of all time.
Blacksad
(Dark Horse Originals)When Juan Díaz Canales and Juanjo Guarnido created Blacksad, they reminded us of something that humanity has known for thousands of years: cats are beautiful. Aesthetically appreciated as far back as ancient Egypt, cats are given a modern makeover in this Neo-noire masterpiece. This is the story of John Blacksad – a hardboiled private investigator who also happens to be a kitty. A feline lone wolf, Blacksad operates independently from the foxes and bloodhounds of the local police department, preferring to stalk his way into the city’s reptilian criminal underbelly on his own. A gritty pastiche of mid-century America, Blacksad’s art style feels like if you took Edward Hopper’s famous Nighthawks painting and turned everyone in it into an animal. Moody, dramatic, lonely, and furry.
