Memoirs of a Book Thief
by Alessandro Tota
Set in Paris in the 1950s, this gorgeous black and white comic is about an arrogant young man who aspires to poetry but resorts to theft. He recites a plagiarized poem at a literary gathering to impress a girl, then falls in with a band of house robbers. It's translated from French and contains numerous references to poetry movements and personalities (which I all took as true, knowing nothing personally about this literary period). It's enjoyable and strange.
