The Economist has a whole series of this type of article, basically what to read to learn about X.

Palestine is a bona fide classic, surprised to not see Maus on the list.

This also another good one by the same author of Palestine:

That Bosnian war book is haunting. I picked it up at random when browsing a bookstore's graphic section and it stuck with me.

Came here to say this about both books. Really well-done books that stuck with me when I read them.

I think it's because Maus or Persephone are low-hanging fruit at this point; I'm glad there's articles that don't just relist the well known ones.

Maus has elements of a fiction.

I can definitely recommend Guy Delisle's books. He has books on Pyongyang, Shenzhen, Burma and Jerusalem and they're all excellent.
