Laura's Challenge

Can you recommend for Laura Gjovaag's aunt five comic books or graphic novels that would dovetail with her reading preferences of historical fiction, sf and spy novels, but be pretty G or PG-rated (i.e., nothing that would get it an R-rating if it were a movie, such as excessive violence or harsh language or nudity)? I cheated, of course, by consulting the Sequential Tart recommended reading lists organized by genre, and here are my five:
  • Dignifying Science (fact-based historical fiction)
  • Astounding Space Thrills (science fiction adventure)
  • Xeno's Arrow (also science fiction adventure)
  • Terminal City (antique futurism; here's the Amazon link)
  • Tales of the Cherokee (Indian mythology)
    Hope that helps, Laura!
