Most recently, I read Maus: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History by Art Spiegelman. This, coincidentally, is the book that Marjane Satrapi said let her know it was possible to tell her story through a graphic novel. And I think everyone on Earth knows the details of this one, but just in case: Maus is the story of Spiegelman's father, a Holocaust survivor. There are tons of essays about this book and the issues it raises available online, if you're interested.
It completely blew me away. If you haven't read it, you should. That's all I can say without employing several overblown adjectives.
