The Sculptor by Scott McCloud 488 pp.
This is by far the best graphic novel I have read. It's a Faustian story of a young sculptor whose promising career stalls and in a drunken depression sells his soul to the devil in the guise of his Great Uncle. The sculptor is given 200 days left to live in exchange for being able to sculpt anything. In the process he meets an aspiring actress who is soon his love interest. It's hard to summarize this story without giving it all away so I'll just say you should give this a try even if you don't read graphic novels.
