(3) YA Illustrated by Ted Naifeh. In this supernatural graphic novel trilogy-ender, Rue struggles with her identity as half-human, half-fey. Her every choice is, at best, a loss and, at worst, a betrayal as she schemes to avert war between the humans and faeries and choose between two romantic entanglements. Naifeh's illustrations capture the chaos caused by the uncomfortable merger of Rue's two worlds.

(2) YA Illustrated by Ted Naifeh. In Episode Two of the series, Ann is betrayed by Keith; Justin falls in love with Lucy; Dale keeps nightly trysts with some faeries; and Rue cheats on Dale with Tam. Plot and action drive this graphic novel that uses supernatural horror as metaphor for adolescent angst. Naifeh's illustrations are dark, threatening, and delicious, all fangs and fingernails, pointy ears and scowls.

(2) YA Illustrated by Ted Naifeh. Black's first graphic novel is a goth-faerie mystery/thriller. After Rue's mother disappears and her father is accused of murder, the truth about Rue's faerie/human blood emerges. This teen identity crisis plays out as a tale of menace and horror; Black's courageous heroine shows that getting through high school is like wrestling with the dark side. A twilit atmosphere suffuses the illustrations.
