Re: Superheroes
Nausicaa is a manga by Hayao Miyazaki, who does comics as well as he does movies. More people are probably familiar with the movie version, Nausicaa and the Valley of Wind.
If I were as obsessive as some people think I am (and less lazy) I would have tacked links to all those. But most are easily locatable on Google. The name and the word "comic" will get you most of the way there. Or print it out, and wander your local comic store. There is a lot of damn good writing and art in that list.
