Read another great graphic novel yesterday. Michel Rabagliati's Paul has a summer job is a story a young man who's dropped out of school after grade 11 due to conflict with the principal and a teacher who've shafted him on a project. Paul's been working a week at a job that's not all he thought it would be, when he gets a call to work at a summer camp.
Paul accepts and his experiences at the camp are those that serve to form as a basis for the rest of his life. It's a really well done story drawn in black and white. It ends with Paul reminising (sp?) on that summer done with a tie in back to that summer that's then long ago. I can't describe how it ties back without giving it away, but it's really well done.
Rabagliati has a couple of other books involving the Paul character. If they are anywhere near as good as Paul has a summer job, they would be well worth checking out.
