Read a whole graphic novel! Clubbing

Well, I've finally done it -- read a whole graphic novel. Clubbing, by Andi (a guy) Watson and Josh Howard. I even understood most of it, even though it was "veddy, veddy" British in tone. Goth-girl Charlotte (Lottie) has been sent to live (and horror of horrors, work) with her grandparents at their country club for old folks because she was caught trying to get into a club with a fake id. She meets Howard and some village "yokels" her own age as well as her grandmother's "friends" in the W.I. When loonie old Geraldine turns up dead with a mysterious symbol scratched onto her arm, Charlotte decides to solve the mystery. Is her grandfather a murderer? The ending is somewhat bizarre, but you'll just have to read it to see what you think. "You don't have to be a comic book geek to dig DC Comic's kicky new imprint, Minx," says Vanity Fair Magazine.
