I would highly recommend Monstress, Vol. 1: Awakening or Saga: Book One, but you’re probably safer with a gift card since she probably has everything.
If she likes mythology then maybe American Gods, Vol. 1: Shadows or even The Tale of Genji.Might be a hit or miss but Judas could be an interesting read for her, especially considering she likes Sandman.
Swamp Thing by Alan Moore. Promethea
Unwritten
The new Lucifer by Dan Watters. That has a decent amount of Greek mythology as well.
"Three" by Gillen Kelly, taking place in Ancient Sparta but focuses on a group of Helots (slaves) and not on free Spartans, which is usually the case with graphic novels like "300" by Frank Miller for example. Maybe I'm biased though, because I'm Greek and I always felt sorry for the Helots since I was little and first learned about them in history class in schoool. :-P

What I do know is she has all of the following:
Sandman
Fables
Hobbit
Batman
Superman
Most superhero sets
She likes clever, well written and beautifully illustrated graphic novels.
Any good sets I should get her into?
Is the Handmaids Tale or The girl with the dragon tattoo any good?
Any themed sets that include history? The Greek gods? Looking for inspiration. . . HELP!
