Did you see the comic book version of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" that's been coming out from BOOM! Studios for the past two years? It's the only thing I can think of that truly deserves to be called a graphic novel (like an electric sheep): it's the entire text of the book, including all the "he said"s, but laid out into illustrated panels and word balloons. The art's not entirely to my taste, but it's a fun way to re-read the book. Good back-matter essays, too.
