Whenever you see her, you like to sit with her and have a talk. She is the kind of person you admire, the way she talks, and the topics she discusses. She makes you convenient, and never talks about nonsense topics.

I'm assuming that you have already read all the Sin City books by Frank Miller.

Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art reads like a history textbook in comic form, but it's super interesting and will give you tons of ideas on what to read.

Look for Art Spiegelman stuff. Maus is good.

Anything by Will Eisner will also be great. Contract with God immediately comes to mind. (Although there is a fair amount of nudity, so nsfw)

Don't know what your tastes lie, but a couple non-superheroy stuff I'd recommend is Jimmy Corrigan Smartest kid on earth. Anything by Joe Sacco. He's a "comic journalist" reporting on war zones around the world in comic form, it's really amazing.
