    I had to go with Maus. It is, in my opinion, one of the most important works in the world of comics. I don't care about the artwork being stunning, I don't care about what else the writer has done, Maus took a section of history that no one should ever forget and put it into a medium that makes it easier for even children to experience and understand. Maus will be, now and forever, one of the most important books in Comic Book/Graphic Novel history. So I had to vote for it. For now.

    Sam and Max Surfing the Highway gets my vote. Even if this bracket does have Brodie's Law, which i myself nominated. But...you really just can't beat the sheer awesome insanity of Sam and Max!

    This is a killer bracket for me....

    I mean, how can you not go with Maus - it won a Pulitzer! And is so wonderfully told and drawn.

    But, also, I completely and utterly love X-tinction Agenda by Chris Claremont.

    These are perhaps two of my all time favorite GNs. Grrrrrr.

    I would have gone for Season Of Mists, but my favourite Sandman is in another bracket leaving me free to vote for From Hell. I thought this was a fantastic story...and I actually liked the film adaptation...but don't tell Feev

    Maus is clearly the better tale (no pun intended) of this group. Of course, that's just my opinion.

    I voted for From Hell, but it is the only one I've read of these. In most of these polls I couldn't vote at all.
