By William Brown. Illustrated by Greg Irons, Gilbert Shelton, and David Sheridan. Bellerophon Books, 1971. Although this isn't a graphic novel per se, it has a comix pedigree. He begins the book with practical discussions of eating cheap, food stamps, utensils to use, definitions of some terms, spices, and how to go shopping.
Every recipe is broken into chunks for easy preparation.
Each chunk includes a list of the ingredients necessary for that step. All recipes were tested by novices, and according to Brown even the hardest recipes resulted in successful food. Each recipe ends with the per-serving cost, which has probably trebled since 1971 but is still quite low. What makes me review it here, however, are the illustrations. Three notable comix artists contributed cartoons to every page, as well as the covers.
