If people want to experience Miyazaki's best work by a fucking mile:

My all time favourite manga/comic series
Yes, the one and only Hayao Miyazaki. That grumpy old 'animu is a mistake' guy. Also made some of the best animated film classics, from the action-packed Mononoke Hime to the adorable My Neighbour Totoro.
Now on to the series itself. A warning, the series is not in Batoto, so you can go buy the absolutely excellent box edition for Nausicaa here which I can personally vouch, and fully recommend. If not, sail the seven seas, which I don't really recommend. Anyways.
This series itself is chosen because there are a plethora of things to discuss. From the unique artstyle, to it's steampunk setting, to it's messianic main character. That and Book Club has done way too many SoLs.
Nausicaa has some of my favorite war scenes throughout all the manga world. I've read Kingdom, Vinland Saga, Bokko, some of the big name war series in the manga world and there's something about the composition of the war scenes in Nausicaa that makes it feel more visceral than most. Definite must read if you're a fan of war scenes.
Another interesting thought is the relevancy of the message contained in the series to our current times. Protecting the environment. If you watched at least 2 of Miyazaki's works, you'll know that he is a big enviroment buff. Just look at the details in which he draws the flora and fauna in any of his series.
Also thank Nausicaa. From his interviews it appears that without Nausicaa to channel his grudge on the destruction of the environment, we wouldn't get cute, fluffy series ala Totoro and Ponyo.
Quoted from Wikipedia:
"He also noted that his continued struggle with the subject matter in the ongoing development of the Nausicaä manga allowed him to create different, lighter, films than he would have been able to make without Nausicaä providing an outlet for his more serious thoughts throughout the period of its creation"
Last thing to note, the anime adaptation is a must-watch classic, but only covers 1/3 of the manga.
Personal thanks to /u/motogmxposed for the Aria recommendation last month! Great choice right there, sorry for having to forgot to credit you last month.
I just started on the manga. Been looking forward to it for ages and finally have the time. Quite heavy though ;)
I got this https://www.amazon.co.uk/NAUSICAA-VALLEY-WIND-BOX-SET/dp/1421550644/ref=sr_1_1?crid=5MFEMXF3N8XH&keywords=nausicaa+of+the+valley+of+the+wind&qid=1558432521&s=books&sprefix=nausi%2Caps%2C165&sr=1-1

I bought that one. I think it's the same as in op. Is fucking fantastic
I don't really have anything to compare it to, but I recently got the 2-volume deluxe etc edition of Nausicaa and was blown away by its quality.
Super super super nice.
Boxed set: http://www.amazon.com/Nausica%C3%A4-Valley-Wind-Box-Set/dp/1421550644/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1457228263&sr=8-2&keywords=nausicaa+of+the+valley+of+the+wind
Individual volume 1: http://www.amazon.com/Nausicaa-Valley-Wind-Vol-1/dp/1591164087/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1457228263&sr=8-3&keywords=nausicaa+of+the+valley+of+the+wind
I have both the boxed set and the individual volumes. You can't go wrong with either. They're from Viz and the Studio Ghibli Library. They're totally unaltered, the translation's fantastic, and there's a sound effect index in the back that translates the Japanese comic sound effects ("boom" or "bang" or whatever) into anglicized versions. If my house were on fire and I could only save one thing, it would be the boxed set. It's that good.
My girlfriend got me the Nausicaa manga collection . (vol 1 & 2).
Absolutely love it!

if you are interested
Since you're not aware, it should be mentioned that most manga tend to be long series and span multiple books, so it's rarely just one book.
I would recommend something like Cardcaptor Sakura. This particular edition of the series has 4 books in total. You can search them using the search term "Cardcaptor Sakura Omnibus".
Since you've mentioned she likes Hayao Miyazaki's works, check out this manga box set by him. It's called Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.
It’s the back page of a two volume set of the Nausicaä manga that I bought myself for my birthday like two years ago.
https://www.amazon.com/Nausicaä-Valley-Wind-Box-Set/dp/1421550644
I recommend this set that came out recently; I had the individual volumes but this one is very well put together.
You can get it in a big boxed 2 book set. I own it and it’s totally worth the price.

(Worth every penny)
Maybe check out some of Humanoids offerings - everything they carry is quality, just need to find something you think your dad would be interested in.
It also depends on what variation of sci-fi.
Others:
Saga
Akira
Nausicaa
Or basically anything on this list.

Sandman by Neil Gaiman
V for Vendetta by Alan Moore
Blacksad by Juan Diaz Canales

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind by Hayao Miyazaki
Not legally but I'm sure a google search would come up with a few results :P The box set is beautiful though, http://www.amazon.co.uk/NAUSICAA-VALLEY-WIND-BOX-SET/dp/1421550644
The manga is a bit different to the movie storyline but there are similar elements. For example the movie misses out the Dorok empire which is a huge part of the manga.
As for prequel there is this short that was released: https://vimeo.com/64987176 I'm not so sure a prequel would work though. Basically it would just be a war and then people recovering from it, I like the time period Nausicaa is set at (although the manga does give a lot of details about what happened during that time)
That's my reaction precisely!
If you are getting the paper version, this is what you need to get:
http://www.amazon.com/Nausica%C3%A4-Valley-Wind-Box-Set/dp/1421550644/ref=pd_sim_sbs_b_1
It's printed significantly larger than the paperback version. The larger size allows you to appreciate the artwork.
It's freaking fantastic! My boyfriend got me this beautiful box set for Christmas last year, I highly recommend it if you're looking to purchase the manga. I love the movie but the manga goes so much more in depth!

It's the hardcover manga box set :)
My favorite anime movie. It's just so immersive and endearing, and the animation really still holds up despite the age. I've seen it at least 4 times now... That opening credits sequence gets me every time.
Highly recommend you check out the manga. The movie is (loosely) based on the first 2 volumes out of 7. The manga is so expansive and epic... I stayed up many nights reading it until 4 in the morning because I couldn't stop.
Then I bought the 2-book hardcover box-set on amazon and read it a second time.
Also check out Castle in the Sky if you havent yet. It was very much influenced by Nausicaa, being made only 2 years later.
I got it from Amazon here for £30 incl. p&p. Not sure how much it would cost from American sellers though, but I would imagine it would be slightly cheaper. The listing here also has better pictures of the box set as mine were taken late last night with a really dodgy camera!
I live in the UK so went with uk-finder which was £27.70 with postage:

Sorry for the late reply; this didn't come through to my inbox.
It is indeed quite awesome. This box set is amazing, too:

Yes definitely the movie cut out a lot of the content from the manga here's a link to buy it

There is a finished Nausicaa manga you can buy.
The Porco Rosso sequel never happened.
After retirement, he worked on a samurai manga though I don't recall it ever being published.

This Nausicaa boxset is the nicest set of books of any type that I own. Just beautiful. And big.
EDIT: A couple more images.
I found it in a local comic shop, but you can order it on Amazon. I was actually really lucky because I bought it on Boxing Day when everything in the store was 20% off.
But you're in luck if you want to order it now. It's actually on sale on Amazon right now.

First things that come to mind are (these are all hardcovers)
Nausicaa box set (2 hardcover books for all 7 volumes)
Gundam: The Origin 2in1 hardcover volumes. 8 out 12 total out. Volume 12 comes out in December. Although I know Japan did get a Aizōban release so not sure if much other than the covers are different.
Vinland Saga - 2 in 1 hardcover volumes. 5 out more coming out later this year.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 1 - Phantom Blood - Volume 1 Hardcover although only 1 volume out at the moment. Volume 2 in May and Volume 3 in August.

The Angel of Elhamburg by Aki this one just came out this week
A Bride's Story (Otoyomegatari) with Emma getting a hardcover release soon
I am sure there are more but these are the ones that come to mind at the moment.

If you like Miyazaki's works or fantasy in general then you should consider getting Nausicaä of the valley of the wind. I got it for 2.5k a few years back and it's epic.

Is this the bigger sized naussicaa set?
http://www.amazon.com/Nausicaä-Valley-Wind-Box-Set/dp/1421550644
You gotta read the manga then. It's like learning the little song you grew up loving is just the opening to a symphony.
