I can't speak the the (many) adaptations of the Bard's stuff, beyond the interpretatiosn Neil Gaiman did during his run Sandman. Those were pretty good, and the one that touched on 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' was good enough to be the only graphic novel to ever win a World Fantasy Award.

As for the Blake/Fowl stuff... what I've thumbed through was pretty awful, so that's definitely part of the problem. Gaiman does a lot of good work if you're looking for original stories that touch upon/incorporate old myths and classic lit (Shakes, Milton, Beowulf, etc). Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentleman works are good along those lines but bring in figures from 19th and early 20th century lit. There are some other one-offs here and there that are good in the adaption realm.... anything by Charles Vess or P. Craig Russel is a pretty good bet. They've touched on some classics. Russel has a whole series that adapt famous Operas that are really good (as in they sell well in Opera Houses good).

As for truly original and very human stories, the only thing I would really add to the pile in the past few minutes is the work of Daniel Clowes, best known for his Ghost World due to the film (book is better of course).

Big picture, beyond suggesting single works, I would check out Top Shelf. They are a really good company, run by great guys and they publish a TON of indie authors doing very good work and almost none of it of the 'typical' comic genre. Best part, they frequently run sales where huge chunks of their back catalog are $3-5 bucks so you can grab a whole pile of 'might be interesting' stuff without breaking the bank and get a better idea of both the breadth of what's out there and what you like.

Forgot Epileptic (http://www.amazon.com/Epileptic-David-B/dp/0375714685) and Ghost World (http://www.amazon.com/Ghost-World-Daniel-Clowes/dp/1560974273). though Black Hole and persepolis are amazing

I have wanted this for a long time to add to my bento supplies, but there is only one left in stock! It is a pesky add-on item, though, so the other thing similar on my list is Ghost World which is one of my favorite movies. I have always wanted to pick up the comic, but I've never gotten around to it.

I've got two for you because being a full time student and working freelance makes the crockpot my best friend.

Cheesy Chicken, Bacon and Tater Tot Casserole Not high cuisine but it's delicious and the leftovers reheat way better than you'd think. I insist on using real bacon for mine though instead of bacon bits. I just cook the bacon in the oven and chop to use in the recipe. Also, if you wanna make things a little more easy on yourself you can opt for using canned chicken breast instead of cutting up the chicken, but it cooks fine either way.

Crockpot Beef Stroganoff Very rich and very tasty and it freezes well. I add a little more pepper than what's recommended.

As far as what I'd want if I won, I'd love to have this book from my wishlist but I've got a good amount of stuff on there under $10 you could surprise me with.

Happy recipe hunting!
