Depends on what kind of thing she is into.

Are you after done in one or would you accept onging comics. She might like the likes of Fables or Y the Last man or some of the Hellblazer trades if she likes Sandman.

Pride of Baghdad is very good story about the iraq war as seen through the eyes of a zoo lion.

Parker: The Hunter and Parker: The Outfit are both superb 50's style crime stories. (Both adaptions of the Parker novels some of which were made into movies. Esp The Hunter which was a Mel Gibson movie called Payback)

Criminal is also very good and there is a great deluxe edition out.

I'm a big fan of Queen and Country if she likes spy stories.

For more kid friendly stuff you may like Bone or The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and it's sequel The Marvelous Land of Oz are brilliant adaptions with georgous art.

For more romancy style you could get her Blankets (a coming of age with strict christian parents story)
