Graphic Novel: 300


From a master graphic novellist, the 300 is the historically based tale of the battle between the Spartans and the Persians at Thermopylae. King Leonidas is a true Spartan; he and his 300 dedicated warriors head off to certain death when they take a stand against the God King Xerxes' persian army of millions. This tragic tale is the story of their bravery and sacrifice, told in Frank Miller's trademark no-holds-barred style. This incredible book is kept in the adult graphic novel section because of the high violence and gore content; it's an amazing read, and is definitely my favourite graphic novel of the year.
