Try reading that and some other more recent graphic novels & graphic nonfiction. I recommend Persepolis, Blankets, Trinity, My Friend Dahmer, the March series, This One Summer, and Fun Home. And if you wish to branch out into somewhat more SFnal/comicky GNs and YA: Saga (NSFW), Nimona, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Lumberjanes, and Ms Marvel (the newest series).
If you want me to pick just two: the March series and Blankets.
That's enough variety in the list you should be able to find something you like and something you hate.
